Adult Continental Portuguese Language Classes

The IDESST Sausalito Portuguese Cultural Center is pleased to announce that we are again offering Continental Portuguese Classes. Apart from learning Portuguese and making some new friends, this is also a great chance to explore the history and culture of the entire Portuguese-speaking world comprising over 250 million individuals. The content of the classes will be guided by the interests of our students, but we do expect to have both classes continue to focus heavily on speaking Portuguese in practical situations. 

If there are any who are interested in taking the Elementary classes who have never studied Portuguese before, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can work with you in advance of the start of classes to provide a head start.

We are offering two classes on Sundays: 

• "Welcome to Portugal" Beginning class 4:00 – 5:30PM; 
• "Portugal on the Plate"  Intermediate/advanced class 5:30 – 7:00PM 
  

Parking: Ample free parking available on Sundays. 

Fees: $225 + cost of class materials (We will be using the textbook “Ponto de Encontro" - 2nd Edition.) Students under 18 years old will receive a 50% discount. 

Instructor: Dr. Duarte Pinheiro will be teaching the classes. Duarte, who was born in northern Portugal not far from Porto, received his undergraduate and graduate degrees in Portugal. He then taught Portuguese language, literature and history for several years in Italy before moving to the United States. He currently teaches in the Portuguese program at UC Berkeley.

If you are interested in either class, or would like more information, please email instructor@idesst.org. Falamos Português!
