Description

The Portuguese language is the official language of nine countries and the fastest-growing European language in the world behind English. As the sixth most spoken language in the world, it has a presence on almost all of the continents.

Unlike the rest of Latin America, Brazil’s official language is Portuguese, not Spanish because Brazil was a Portuguese Colony.

What’s the difference between Portuguese in Brazil and in Portugal?

Portuguese has remained the dominant language throughout various developments, adding linguistic bits and pieces from native groups, African slaves and neighbouring European settlers.

Today, Brazilian and European Portuguese have slight differences in grammar and vocabulary — and major differences in pronunciation — but the languages remain very similar.

Brazil is one of the world’s most captivating places. Learn to speak Brazilian Portuguese to connect with this country of powdery white-sand beaches, verdant rainforests and rhythm-filled cities. Not to mention that Brazil is famous for some serious World Cup wins and football stars!
