Personal comments
Spanish and portuguese are very similar so I learn very quickly the language and I was living with portuguese people. on the other hand, the courses teach me in english and it was a little bit more difficult for me because I didn,t speak so well english but now I improve my english, I extend my vocabulary and I have friends for another countries (Greece, Germany, Cher Republick) and I had to speak in english with them.
