Hi all,
I am looking for a Portuguese language school in Coimbra, I am planning to spend a few weeks there in March. I have found one (Caravela), they might have a course available in March but I need to get to a specific level first if I want to join the group.
I might be able to make it by then, but I was hoping to find some other options as well?
Is anybody aware of such schools in Coimbra or surrounding?
Thanks!
@tony359 The only such courses I know of in Coimbra are offered by the University of Coimbra.
The university offers semester-long courses at various levels (including absolute beginner) in the spring and autumn terms and also has highly intensive three-week courses (also including absolute beginner level) two or three times a year.
Here's a link to more info: https://www.uc.pt/international-applica … ses/index/
Unfortunately it looks like there isn't an intensive three-week course in March.
You also have these options in Coimbra, among others:
Cursos de português para estrangeiros:

Thank you so much!
I did find the university of Coimbra but those are proper semester-long courses as you found - I wasn't aware of the three weeks ones, too bad they're not available this week.

Escola Superior de Educacao de Coimbra seems to only have semester-long courses but the other two links do mention other options which might suit me. I'll get in touch now.
Here in the UK there are many schools I like calling "tourist schools" where you can opt for a proper course and get the relevant certification or you can just join "mid-year" for as long as you want and learn what you can. They're a bit less informal than a proper school but it's a great way to
My goal is to spend time in Portugal, explore, see how things are and - hopefully - make some friends and practice Portuguese with them "out of hours" 
(Even though I guess it would be hard to stay away from the "more universal" English!)
I'll update the thread with what I find, for future reference!
Thanks so far!
