Hey there,
My family and I (husband and 6 month old son) have just moved to Maia, Porto. We are getting things sorted, slowly, with regards to residency as my husband will be a PhD student at the University of Porto.
There are a couple of things I have been wondering about:
Where can we meet with people to learn and improve our very limited portuguese? We don't know enough to understand most people then they speak in English so we can understand but that doesn't help our portuguese...
Are there any young mums groups/baby play groups around? Maia and the university area both fine for us. In addition to this, any idea where I can get second hand or cheap baby things eg high chair, crib, push chair?
Coming from a Pentecostal church background (and finding ourselves in a Catholic Church this morning), are there any similar churches in Porto? Pentecostal, Baptist and Apostolic are the three I am most familiar with.
Thank you in advance for any help! I hope to meet you around the place!
