Internet Resources for my Portuguese Students

Atenção, se por acaso tem problemas com o Consulado Geral tente o Portal do Cidadão.
Melhor ainda, se quiser fazer críticas, comentários e sobretudo formular propostas, clique no Fórum do Conselho das Comunidades Portuguesas, aqui. Boa sorte ;-)

This page contains information that I would normally recommend to my students who have access to the Internet and I hope that you will also find it useful.
I have been teaching Portuguese, for a number of years, either from home or in Colchester's Adult Community College.
As there is no Portuguese course in Grey Friars for the 2005-2006 academic year, presently I can take students for tuition based at my place.
For your feedback or inquiries about private Portuguese tuition, proof-reading, translations or interpreting, do not hesitate to contact me, I'm in the telephone book.
