When Can I Start My Portuguese Course in Rio?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

At Caminhos, you can begin your Portuguese course on any Monday throughout the year. However, we recommend starting on one of our official start dates, as new groups are formed every two weeks. This approach ensures that you join a class that aligns perfectly with your skill level and allows for smooth progress alongside your classmates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Everyone is welcome to start any Monday, but complete beginners who begin on a non-official date may need to take private catch-up lessons to cover material that has already been taught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Check our online calendar or view our Course Calendar for detailed information about upcoming start dates and holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/svg><\/div><\/div>
Please note: this calendar refers to our group courses. Other course types (such as private lessons and online classes) can usually start right away after we receive payment.<\/strong><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n
