So when you travel to Rio de Janeiro, how does one go about learning Portuguese? Obviously, you need to settle your living arrangements. It could get quite pricey staying in hotels for the length of stay that it will require to learn the local language, so you might take into account rentals such as apartments or flats. These will more than likely present some more affordable accommodations. Also, if price is key, you might contemplate looking for rentals outside of Copacabana and Ipanema, since these pieces of real estate tend to be more high-priced.
So now that's handled, whether you've made a decision to stay in apartments, flats, hotels or someone's couch, the query still remains. How should you set about learning Portuguese? Well, to begin with, you are most likely going to need some books. Also, television can actually be a useful tool. Beyond this, you're in luck, because every Brazilian is an amateur Portuguese instructor. Though, this is said as kind of a joke, it really isn't. The lifestyle in Rio de Janeiro is welcoming and outgoing. People will be more than happy to teach you phrases in Portuguese and actually will enjoy the efforts that you make.
Another option that a serious student should consider is actually entering a formal education and learning on the subject matter. Again, solutions exist for this. It is possible to find group classes as well as private tutors who can make accommodations for you. Language schools are growing businesses in Rio, so you shouldn't have to look very far. Also, it is possible for private instructors to come to your home whether you're staying in hotels or apartments. This is a common practice in Rio.
Certainly with anything, what you get out will be equal to what you put in. A regimented student is obviously going to learn at a much faster rate than those who are not. But the tools are there if you are seriously looking to experience Brazil on a greater level and be able to speak the language of the country.
