| Review: | Fast Forward Language Institute Fast Forward has made my life here in Brazil so much easier. After taking just five weeks of class, I can now communicate comfortably in Portuguese. I'm not fluent by any means, but I can interact with the people with little difficulty. The classes are divided into several levels and are amazingly small (around 4 students), so the teachers can really give each student special attention. The intensive classes progress as quickly as the students can manage. The after class and weekend outings, the assigned homework, and the Portuguese-only policy in the school nicely complement the classes. The teachers are knowledgeable and make the classes fun and interesting. If you really want to become part the Brazilian culture and form relationships with the people, learning the basics of the language is essential. As a professional language teacher myself, I can highly recommend studying Portuguese at Fast Forward. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Fast Forward Language Institute To date I have attended the school four times, once in Maceio, and three times in Sao Paulo, where it is now at a good location at the top end of Paulista Avenue. The fact that I have returned three times speaks for itself, and I am already looking forward to the next visit! The best part of the experience is the quality of the teachers both in terms of their ability to teach the Portuguese language at all levels, and also their patience and interest in each individual student regardless of whether it is a private or group class. The staff also go the extra mile outside of classes with the arrangement of social events and assistance with other matters such as travel or, once in my case, a medical emergency. All in all, good value for the money and highly recommended. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Fast Forward Language Institute Three years ago I embarked upon a journey of personal growth. In my life, full of successes, I had not ever mastered a second language. I chose Portugese for business reasons. I attended Fast Forward , Sao Paulo for one month. The teachers and the program guided me through the basics of learning the language and gave me the beginnings of confidence that I could do this. The following year I attended the Maceio division for one week and another week in Sao Paulo. In between, I took classes with a teacher from Sao Paulo who lived near me. The last year I came to Brasil I took classes and found that much of what I had been studying at Fast Forward helped me throughout the year. The workbooks were comprehensive and the followup was professional. Finally, I have brought myself back to Sao Paulo and gave a presentation in Portugese. I owe my success to my choice of Fast Forward and the people there who are committed to us "gringos" learning the language. The teachers and the directors and the owners have created a program that is well formulated for success. Comments [ 0 ] |

| Review: | Fast Forward Language Institute This summer (2006), I went to Sao Paulo to learn Portuguese and I decided to take two months of intensive Portuguese with Fast Forward. I was extremely impressed by the quality of teaching, the friendly atmosphere, the flexibility of the program, and the dedication and care that people from Fast Forward put into their work. I have to say that this way of learning a language is incredibly efficient and rewarding. At first, I thought that it was not possible to learn a new language in two months, but believe me, it is! I recommend this Language School to everybody. Thank you to all the people of Fast Forward who made my time in Brazil a fruitful, enriching, and unforgettable experience! With all my love, Maya.

| Review: | Fast Forward Language Institute I am very happy to finish one month experience in Fast Forward Language Instute. I had had a lower intermediate level. Now I am very confident when I am speaking Portuguese. That course with very much talented and helping teachers, the concentrated lessons and warm classes and colegues made me learn that language. Beside learning portuguese, I had met with friendly and amazing teachers and students and I had built life-long friendships. The course was really amazing. I will never forget that part in my life. Thanks a lot for everything. We will meet again my friends. OBRIGADO... Comments [ 0 ] |
