NRCSA: Faro - Central de Linguas

Since the middle of the 16th century, Faro has been the capital of the sunny Algarve region. Famous for its fine beaches, its historical Moorish legacy is seen in the gleaming white villages. The NRCSA Center in Faro has successfully conducted Portuguese courses for foreigners since 1972, and has established a special department in charge of the creation of materials and the improvements of teaching techniques. Students have free access to all the facilities, which includes a language library, language laboratory, video and computer services. Teachers are carefully selected, university qualified, and native speakers of Portuguese.
