Located in the five major regions (Rio de Janeiro state in the Southwest; Porto Alegre in the South; Salvador, Bahia in the Northeast; Brasilia in the Central-West; and Manaus in the Amazon North) this three-week intensive language program is designed to increase language proficiency and enhance cultural knowledge through interaction with major Brazilian military units and schools; immersion into day-to-day life situations in both large cities and rural areas, and hosting of cadets by pre-selected Brazilian families, predominantly military, for meals and social gatherings as well as discussions about life in Brazil. Cadets will be required to maintain a journal of their trip followed by a written report of their experiences -- all in Portuguese.
