It was a bit dificult at first, but I lernt portuguese by assisting to an intensive portuguese course for foreigners. But I was all day long in my laboratory, working alone the most of the time, and I couldn´t improve the languaje.

it's not very easy to get into the portuguese language. but it's worth doing it! people in the north of portugal are very friendly, so its nice to speak with them in their language. the most important: to know portuguese opens you the door to brasil!

The courses were held in English, but in the beginning we had to chose one course in portugueses even if i didn't know the language well. The teachers were kindly to help us and we had no problems at the end of the programme.
