Does anyone have any information about the "Olinda Portuguese Language School?" I want to study portuguese for a couple of weeks next summer. They have a serious looking website and have responded to my inquiries but I have not been able to find any independent recommendation for this school. Thank you
Language School in Olinda

Why not ask them for the names and contact info of some satisfied students with whom you could speak/correspond?
I have never heard of them (nor heard them mentioned anywhere), nor does Olinda (vs. Recife itself) strike me as a place for Portuguese schools that might draw enough foreign residents. As charming as it is, historic Olinda seems mostly a neighborhood day trip for casual visitors to the Recife area, but a long shlep for the majority living in Recife proper. That doesn't mean the school might not be a good one, but on the other hand, I can list several in Recife itself, and also more than half a dozen such schools in Salvador, which does have the substantial and interested tourist population to support them.
