When asked why she decided to open the Center, Ms. Oliveira spoke of her strong belief that becoming bilingual is an attainable and viable goal for all adults, especially when they study in smaller groups. "With a maximum of ten students in any class, students receive the individual attention that larger classes often overlook.
I love giving my students such personal attention. We can address any problem areas immediately, and while they are learning, they enjoy themselves. It's more than rote memorization," she added. "The students develop an appreciation for the language and the culture. It's really a safe and warm learning environment."
Courses include Conversational Portuguese for beginners and Spanish for beginner, intermediate and advanced students. A six-week course is $65.00 - $75.00.
