"The BCI is one of those places where you walk through the door expecting one thing, and you end up getting so much more. Their drive to do good in the community and the wider world is infectious!"

Mariel Alanis

"Learning Portuguese has greatly aided me in serving my customers! Being able to speak with them in their native language strengthens my business relationships. I thank the BCI for their help and am grateful of the knowledge I have attained."

Gary Reese

Senior Support Analyst - Lockheed Martin - NASA Johnson Space Center

"Classes are focused on teaching Portuguese in an environment that will simulate what a student will encounter in a Portuguese-speaking country. I think this is a wonderful resource for a person desiring to master the Portuguese language."

Valerie Musick

29, Speech Language Pathologist

"There is a very positive and fun vibe among the group. Contramestre Gringo's style of teaching is very professional, yet relaxed and animated. You will leave every class feeling very strong, smart, and flexible."

Diane Hatton

"This is the most fun cardio workout you can imagine! It's challenging but also something where you can clearly see progress over time. It engages my body and mind at the same time and I think it has improved my overall coordination and expression. 100% Recommended."

Vanessa Abahashemi

"They are and always will be a family to me. I have learned amazing lessons that I always carry with me. I would recommend the Foundation in a heart beat for all subjects. The instructors are all professionals. "

"The BCI Arts Program is something that has brought a lot of new members to our Community Center. It’s important to have them because they love their art classes. They just love having such energetic company."

Andrew Valdez

"Working in the oil & gas industry I meet many people from countries like Brazil and Angola. Building working relationships is so much easier when you have something in common such as a language. These classes have been a tremendous help and I recommend them all the time."

"The Portuguese classes at the Brazilian Arts Foundation are excellent! I have been able to improve my conversational skills, and my teacher makes grammar very comprehensible. It is a fun and enjoyable experience."
