Portuguese teacher...

My Portuguese teacher and I have become casual friends, and I think I am falling for her.
The thing is, I want to ask her out to the movies, but then if she says no I don't want it to make classes feel weird. She is a freelance teacher, so it wouldn't breach favouritism or anything.

I agree, if the poster is falling for his teacher then they perhaps need to think what effect this could have on the teachers career. Just because you have become casual friends doesn't mean you have to or should ask them out in a romantic sense. Of course friends can go to the movies without it being anything more than that. Though if you are serious about "asking her out" then I wouldn't recommend the cinema, you sit there in silence watching the film, hardly that social.
If you are a child, and she is a teacher she can, at the very least lose her job if she engages in a romantic relationship with you. At worst, depending on your age she could goto prison.
If you are both adults, ie it's an evening class, then as G-raffe said, cinema isn't an ideal first date. Take her out for lunch.
I did not make this assumption and still think he should not do it. If he gets brushed off the class is going to suck a lot and if not I still think the professional atmosphere of teacher-pupil is tainted. Disregarding the chances of success though, being brushed off by someone you see on a regular, even professional basis sucks ass.
Sorry, I thought we were making that assumption
true. i'm an adult by the way, and she's a freelance teacher.
i haven't asked her, more or less for the reason you gave.
