el cubano 15, I was about to ask the same thing. The description should be changed to add in which type of Portuguese this class is. The terms Portuguese and Spanish are tossed rather loosely in this country. I know when I see a Spanish class that doesn't say otherwise, I assume it to be Latin American Spanish and not Spain Spanish, which is completely different then the Spanish spoken in other countries. It'd be great to find European Spanish and Portuguese taught somewhere. A friend and I have been looking for that for a while and have come up empty. I remember in school the Spanish teacher told us she wasn't going to be teaching us Spain Spanish and the class argued with her. She was understanding but still didn't teach us the form we wanted to learn.
