Since 1991, Fast Forward Language Institute has been devoted to providing high quality and personalized instruction in Portuguese for foreigners. All of our teachers are professional and experienced native instructors, university graduated and trained in Fast Forward Language Institute's direct approach to language teaching.
The Portuguese language enjoys a lively and varied lexicon throughout the world today. Fast Forward Language Institute is unique in its intimate approach to acquiring language through total cultural immersion. We believe it imperative to integrate our institution’s academic setting with the modern life of each individual city.
In Portugal, Fast Forward Language Institute is located in Porto. Here, the student will have a completely different experience with the Portuguese language than that which is found in Brazil, tracing the Portuguese language and culture to their origins. Porto offers a unique experience in the modern life of the Portuguese language and the people who natively speak it.  

Porto
is a European city with an immense historical patrimony yet is also well-linked to present and future times. As a trading centre at the mouth of the Rio Douro Porto is the second largest city after Lisbon. The place has a number of distinctive atmospheres and this is very evident when comparing the various parts of the city. The quarter around the riverside known as the Ribeira is full of narrow twisting streets with houses once painted or tiled in colourful facades and full of the bustling energy of working people during the day and the liveliness of busy "tascas" and restaurants at night. The district around the Cathedral is full of busy streets and monuments to past achievements and streets lined with houses built like layers of a cake then crowded together with a maze of small alleys in-between.
