Portuguese Facts

Portugal were responsible for the first ever Japanese dictionary translated into a European language - the 'Nippo Jisho', made in 1603

While Portuguese has many similarities in grammar and vocabulary with other Romance tongues, it is only really mutually intelligible for Spanish people - and even then communication is difficult

Portuguese derives from the Galicia region in the north of the country

Portuguese Testimonials

"I'm planning a trip around Brazil next year with some friends, and we all wanted to learn some basic Portuguese. Our teacher was great - she made sure we were all up to date and we got better even faster by practicing with each other outside of classes. We can't wait to get to Brazil."
