Hi Guys,
I am coming to Floripa in October to surf/party for about 6 months over summer. I would like to learn Portugese because I know it will make the stay so much better, I was wondering if anyone could please point me in the direction of a language school / homestay program that I could do for a few months. I heard something about a homestay program with portugese lessons for $300us but cant find any info on it.
Thanks for you help
I found the following:
http://www.ufsc.br/esai/ingressoestrangeiros/portugues.html
Cost in Reals 390 for the course. It is at the university.
the site is in portuguese so I am not sure about lodging.
It may be worth checking.
Good luck

Hi Karina..I would appreciate any help / info I can get....my address is markonline83@hotmail.com -cheers
Hi Mark,
I´ve seen you ad on Virtual Tourist and I would like to offer you my services. I´ve been teaching Portuguese as a foreign language for the past 36 years (I´m 51) and you can contact me (celisacanto@hotmail.com) for getting further information about my courses. I had a couple of students who have tried this US300 homestaying courses, but they gave up and restarted with me. I didn´t ask anything about it, but I know it doesn´t work. Anyway, feel free to contact whenever you wish so I can tell you about my Portuguese teaching.
Take a good care and I´m looking forward to hearing from you,
best regards,
Celisa Canto
Florianopolis is connected to the rest of the state by a bridge.The original one(called Hercilio Luz)was closed to traffic due to restauration for a long time,today i heard it is open only for pedestrians(sorry if i'm wrong or not updated!!),but there is the new(not so new..)bridge,build to help the traffic in the hard hours,and during the old bridge restauration,the only way to go in and out of the island!
a picture of the old bridge followed by the new one..
Located north, close to Praia dos Ingleses, you can go there following the road that pass by Praia do Moçambique. It is a pretty consistent spot, with good waves and not many surfers. E swells and NE winds are the best. Waves pretty strong, Tom Carrol broke a few boards surfing there on a good day. It worths the drive.
You can buy almost anything by the beach in Floripa: sun block, umbrella, dresses, food, drinks, ice cream etc, it is all possible thanks to people who, despite the heat and the sun, work walking all day long selling stuff at the beach. One of the things I love the most is the fresh juices and drinks cart. They have everything they need to make you a refreshing beverage including blender!! And the commodity get an iced drink by the beach is heaven!!
My last visit: november 2004
Floripa is an Island into the Atlantic Ocean...
A beautiful place to take beachs, surfing, sun!
On summer, the city is invaded by argentians...and the prices up so much!!!

As i told amy in reply of her question at the forum,this time was the most amazing "stopping on the way to refresh" experience..in our way from rio grande do sul state to santa catarina state,we found a whole village(called Ita) what was completely submerged and a hdroelectric station build instead...the goverment moved all the population to another place closed to the original one..the church tower was what we found left...
we traveled to Ita thru Concordia,and these are the pictures from this beautiful way!
