Experience which was different than I thought but still even more valuable and important for me

I am really happy for choosing this internship program. Everything went well and I got help if I wanted. It was really important and improving time for me to experience this chapter and cultural experience in my life.

An amazing time in Curitiba

I participated in the internship placements in Summer 2018 and it was an amazing 2 months. The people in Curitiba were some of the nicest I've ever met. All of the program coordinators are really kind and helpful. Rafaela and Lucia stayed in contact with me through email before departure and were easy to reach after I arrived. BE also hosts several group events like dinners, small parties, and other outings which are really fun and a good chance to get to know the culture as well as the other students who were studying abroad there. My internships supervisors were really friendly and welcoming and the work schedule is perfectly reasonable. While I was there I was able to take Portuguese classes for a few weeks which was definitely a highlight. The classes were interesting and included cultural components where we visited museums and the market and other places like that. I'm considering taking more classes here at home because I thought they were so fun and a great way to have some structured learning. I highly recommend visiting Foz do Iguacu if you go there because its one of the most amazing places I've ever seen (and is a great photo location). The best part of this experience was my homestay. The place was very comfortable and safe. I lived with 2 girls (and their adorable dog). Through them I got to experience everything I wanted to in Brazil. They invited me places with their friends. I watched the world cup games with them, went to parties, and just had a really good time. They were some of the most genuine people I've had the pleasure of becoming friends with. I would recommend this program to anyone. I still think about my trip to Brazil all the time and I can't wait to go back in the near future.

Everything went smoothly, given that I was alone in a country without speaking the language. Job and workenviroment was great, and I felt always welcomed and safe. Great people! If I had any problems, I got help with them. I learnt a lot of myself and about teaching, but most of all of Brazilian culture

I always liked to travel and I visited a lot of countries in Europe already, but I wanted to try something different and go outside Europe for once.
