Portuguese Facts

Portuguese and Spanish may have strong similarities, but there are also gaping differences; such as a widely differing stock vocabulary (i.e. basic, common words), very different word endings, and a more complex usage of the definite article ('the')

A pluricentric tongue, Portuguese has two man dialect groups - that of the 'Old World' (Europe) and that of Brazil

Portuguese is not only the official language of Portugal - it is also the first tongue in Brazil, Cape Verde, Mozambique, Angola and Guinea-Bissau

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."
