Members ihpguy Posted December 5, 2011 Members Posted December 5, 2011 After Reveillon, my plan is to take the boyfriend for a week away from Rio proper. My first choice was to Salvador in Bahia and form there, either towards the north for Praia do Forte and Imbassai or to the south towards Ilheus and Trancoso. However, he works a lot of hours per week and of course, doesn't make much as a waiter. Rather than spend 1200-1300 on airfare for two, I'd rather give it to him for 6 months of his English courses at CCAA and just hit a relatively nearby pousada where we can dive and swim in clear waters. Sit on the beach and each freshly-grilled fish. Anyone have any experiences they want to share? Quote
Members RA1 Posted December 5, 2011 Members Posted December 5, 2011 I like your idea of something very useful for your BF. One can always travel but learning something, that is for always. Best regards, RA1 Quote

Best regards, RA1 He is already done with the first two units. His grammar is excellent. He really studies. And reads in English. His pronunciation could be better. The problem is that his teacher is an Argentinian who spent all of 4 months living in Ottawa ON. So he is learning to speak English from someone with a Spanish accent. Not great. He changes to CCAA in January after our trip to wherever. Quote
