Er werden wel een paar activiteiten geregeld vanuit de school, maar voor mij iets te prijzig. Ben 1x weggeweest naar een ballet voorstelling, dit was wel erg leuk. Maar Ga liever zelf op pad, dit scheelt aanzienlijk.

Der Sprachkurs war gut auf die individuellen Kenntnisse abgestimmt, nach einem Interview am ersten Tag wird man entsprechend einem Kurs zugeteilt. Die Lehrer waren sehr geduldig, das Tempo war aber dennoch nicht langsam, sodass man schon relativ gefordert war.Das Viertel Barra ist ein sehr schönes und auch sicheres, mit Restaurants, Bars und natürlich den schönen Stränden. Auch die Gastfamilien sind im Regelfall in unmittelbarer Nähe zur Schule angesiedelt.Brasilien und seine Bewohner machen es mit ihrer offenen Art Neuankömmlingen sehr einfach, sich willkommen zu fühlen.

Testimonials
Jonas Huggler
Jonas Huggler
Idioma, Salvador da Bahia

I booked my stay with ESL because it was very difficult to find language schools in Salvador de Bahia, and when I found one I could compare the prices and found that there were exactly the same as if I had booked directly with the school. I therefore didn’t need to bother booking by phone or email. The school is very friendly, perfectly located and the teachers ensure that lessons are enjoyable. This afternoon they put me in a free capoeira class so that I can make new friends and explore new places in this beautiful town.

Host family
Sharing daily experiences with a host family in Salvador is an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in Brazilian culture and put your language skills into practise outside of your Portuguese classes. Approximately 20 minutes by foot from the school, you will stay with a local family, in a single room. You may choose the option with breakfast or with no meals included.

Shared apartments
Within easy walking distance of the language school, these apartments offer you the chance to live locally with Brazilians or other students. You will stay in a single room and share common rooms, such as the bathroom and kitchen, with your flatmates. This is a social way to live and a superb way to discover the city in the company of locals.

Hostel, hotel, private apartment
For students who wish to be totally independent, our partner school offers the chance to stay in a hotel, in a private apartment or in a "Pousada" (inexpensive family guesthouse, typically Brazilian) at reduced prices.
Prices and additional information on request.

Multi-coloured façades, cobbled streets, welcoming inhabitants and party music everywhere…welcome to Salvador da Bahia! From the fragrant and colourful treasures of the Mercado Modelo to the sparkling sands of the Morro de São Paulo; from Capoiera performances to parades of Batucadas, this is a city that loves life. Enjoy "Acarajé com camarão", papayas and sunshine but, above all, don’t miss the soul of the “Black Rome”. The Candeal district is the musical heart of the city, based on Carlinhos Brown’s model of harmonious society. In Salvador de Bahia, African music and traditions are mixed into everyday life without losing anything of their original strength.
