Since 1991, Fast Forward Language Institute has been devoted to providing high quality and personalized instruction in Portuguese for foreigners.
All of our teachers are native speakers, university graduates and trained in Fast Forward's direct approach to language teaching. We work with our own teaching methods, aimed at students' total cultural immersion.
In Brazil, Fast Forward currently has locations in Sao Paulo and Maceio, each offering a unique and captivating experience in the cultural reality of the Portuguese language today.
Language lessons at Fast Forward focus on communication; beyond grammar books and written exercises, our professors include a variety of oral and listening elements with up-to-date technology to stimulate a comprehensive understanding of the Portuguese language.
Students are encouraged to interact with their classmates, their professors and the entire staff here at Fast Forward. Our professors also dedicate their creativity and time to the organization of various activities during the students' free time and weekends.
Enthusiastic and experienced host families also contribute greatly to the students' well being during their stay. We work hard to create an intimate atmosphere both during and after class time that welcomes, inspires, challenges and responds to each individual student.

Maceio
Maceió, the capital of the state of Alagoas in the northeast of Brazil, is a safe, relaxed and modern city with the most beautiful beaches in South America. Praia da Pajuçara, its main attraction, with jangadas (small sailboats) that take visitors to the 'piscinas naturais' (natural swimming pools) formed at low tide, Maceió's ocean and lagoons dominate the landscape, welcoming tourists from all over the world. The climate is tropical, with an average temperature of 25° Celsius and 2 seasons: summer and rainy summer. Maceió also has a wide range of cultural places of interest to visit, such as Penedo and Marechal Deodoro (historic colonial cities), with their unique architecture and museums. For outdoor fun, Pontal do Peba (shrimp fishing area), Murici (Atlantic forest) and Barra de Santo Antonio (Manatee reserve) are favorite destinations. The school is located in the Ponta Verde district, a modern residential area, just 4 blocks away from the beach, and close to restaurants, gyms, shops, etc.
