Hey all,
i'm interested in finding a reasonably priced but well reputed school to study portuguese in Porto Alegre.
Also, what is the standard rent for a one bedroom apartment in a reasonably safe neighbourhood - i.e. close to Public Transport Links. i plan on living in Port Alegre for no less than 6 months.
is there an expat community in Porto Alegre?
Thanks in advance.
I see you looking so pretty and sporty holding your surfboard, I feel this need to warn you: Porto Alegre is a bit away from the ocean (120km). Don't know how important surf is for you, but have you consider Florianopolis? Perhaps it would be a better location.
But anyway, if you are determined to learn Portuguese in Porto Alegre you could contact the Federal University, they have Portuguese for Foreigners: www.ufrgs.br
Rental prices: I believe you'll spend at least R$650 a month in rental, taxes + communal charges (condominio) if you are looking to rent a flat on your own. If you understand a bit of Portuguese already, check this website for prices and photos: www.auxiliadorapredial.com.br
thanks Piglet,
I'll take a look at that site.
Hi Victoria, the other day looking for something else I found more Portuguese classes, this is also a well-reputed school:

Info about Portuguese classes:

Hi Victoria,
in case you haven't found anything yet let me know, I have apartments for rent close to the university and buss connections

the Lake is formed by four Rivers..the Jacui, the Sinos, the Cai and Gravatai River, with 496sqkm. going with friends to the movies, having a picnic right at the lake..strolling through the beautiful parks and meeting the locals
MARIO QUINTANA CULTURAL CENTER:Mario Quintana was a very famous writer and poet from Porto Alegre.He lived all his life in a hotel called MAJESTIC.After he died,the building was restored and became the MARIO QUINTANA CULTURAL CENTER.It's a great place with nice cool performances,many from the students of the theater and art school from the university.There's a nice cofee shop in the lobby with great happyhours..
Take a boat trip and see a very special view of the city..from the river!The boats departure from the central port or from the old gas plant,there are trips every hour,it's quite cheap and the boats are ok,safe ones.There is a very fancy boat called CISNE BRANCO(white swan),it departes only from the central port and i don't have the hours.This one in the picture we took from the gas plant.
This is Farroupilha Palace, seat of Rio Grande do Sul State Parliament, built in the 50´s. It is also located at Praça da Matriz, next to Piratini Palace.
On its sidewalls facing Rua Duque de Caxias there are some nice metal panels picturing gaúcho themes.
View of the sunset from the shoreline of the Guaíba lake is a must. Praised and imortalized by the local poets. To see this magnificent sight it's better to plan ahead - choose the right observation points and be there at the right time. In the summer time, the sunset is aproximatelly at 20:15; in autumn, 17:40; in winter, 17:30 and 18:45 in spring. Almost all of the shoreline serves as great observation points, but during winter, a great spot is from the Usina do Gasômetro.
