El Paso
At the geographical crossroads between the United States and Mexico, El Paso is a fascinating urban centre. At various times in history, it has been the territory of the pre-Columbian Manso, Suma and Jumano Indians, Spanish explorers, and 'Wild West' gun-slingers. Indeed, today's 'Sun City' was once regarded to be the 'Six Shooter Capital' of the lawless south. The emergence of the railroad in the 1880s brought in a constant wave of itinerant gamblers, outlaws, thieves, religious types, Chinese railway workers, self-made men, and women of easy virtue. While this very romantic vision is now consigned to the history books, El Paso is still a colorful and cosmopolitan place to learn languages today. The city's range of linguistic diversity ensures that you are able to find a qualified tutor, teaching in their mother tongue, to guarantee you exact expression and correct pronunciation.
Portuguese Testimonials
"I'm planning a trip around Brazil next year with some friends, and we all wanted to learn some basic Portuguese. Our teacher was great - she made sure we were all up to date and we got better even faster by practicing with each other outside of classes. We can't wait to get to Brazil."
