SUU Nursing Students in Brazil

Precisamos muito de recrutar alunos para este viagem que falem portugues.  Caso contrario, teremos problemas quando chegarmos ao Brasil. If you can read that, then this trip is definitely for you.  PLEASE.  We need you.  We need students who can speak Portuguese to sign up for this trip.  I have been trying to learn for the past three months.  It is not going well.  Duolingo is worthless.  My husband even paid $89 for a subscription to Babbel.  It's just not going well.  The most helpful thing I have done is watch multiple episodes of Peppa Pig in Portuguese on YouTube.  That's about the right level for me.  They speak clearly and don't speak too fast and their vocabulary is limited.  Yes, I have been demoted to the level of a three year old.
