Lisbon is again a vibrant, cosmopolitan & creative city that successfully marries the historic with the modern. At its best on languorous summer evenings, when the pavement cafes and riverside restaurants bustle with life. It is a city where enjoying life and taking time to appreciate it is still paramount.

I loved the fact that the teachers only spoke Portuguese during the lessons as this gets you thinking in Portuguese constantly. My teacher for the 8 weeks was absolutely brilliant – very patient, great sense of humour and didn’t only teach us the language but taught us about Portugal in general.
I was very pleased with the attention, service and very helpful assistance that CESA provided. My million and one questions and requests were dealt with patiently, informatively and within a respectable time frame.          Heidi – 8 weeks Lisbon
