San Francisco Bay Area Language Classes

Adult education lessons for all levels, from beginner to advanced.


Popular language lessons in the Bay Area are offered at the Maria Oliveira Language Learning Center located in Pinole, California. Specializing in Spanish lessons and Conversational Portuguese, including European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese, the Center also provides classes in French, Mandarin, English for Non-Native Speakers, and Italian. Classes are primarily for adult learners, but there is also an after-school program for students between ages 7 and 11.  The Center features small groups of less than ten students and follows an instructional format of incremental 6-week sessions, developed by Maria Oliveira. This proven method of study allows for individual learning styles in a pressure-free environment. Also offered at the Center are the popular, and free, social hours in which Bay Area students may practice their language skills.
