After all the science-related exams, I did the languages exams and had great grades, so I enrolled in Translation at ISLA. Did the first year of the program, and the first semester of the 2nd year, then decided that wasn't worth the stress nor the conflicts with teachers, and especially not the money for that kind of "service".
The first year program included General Translation, Composition and Debate, Study of Texts, Grammatical Structure and Lexicon, Introduction to Linguistics, Contrastive Analysis of Texts (the previous six being doubled, each for French and English), French Life and Institutions, British Life and Institutions, Portuguese Language and Literature, Theory and Methodology of Translation, Word Processing and History.
Note: The program of studies has been changed and the first year is completely different now.

I loved my experience at Mohawk! No one acted like spoiled rich kids, the teachers cared if we were learning or not, small classes with a great environment, it was really unbelievable.
I wanted to do take the French courses and obtain the Certificat de Comepetence en Langue Francaise, and of the 8 courses in the program I only had to take 3 (prior learning experience). I graduated with honors.

Other Education

My first experience with distance education, I found it a very comfortable way to learn. I chose the Secretary course and received all the books, software and other materials through mail, and studied at my own pace.

CEAC - Edições de Ensino à Distância Lda

Another distance education option, this time for Spanish. I was suprised with the support from the teacher for this type of course: regular letters accompanied the tests and she was always a phone call away.
