About

If you are a speaker of a romance language like Spanish, Italian, French or Romanian this Portuguese course would be excellent for you. Romance languages share the same linguistic root.  

Portuguese is the 9th most spoken language in the world and is present in four continents. 276 million people speak Portuguese: 68 million in Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, Africa and Asia, and 208 million in Brazil.

Fado, Bossa Nova, Choro, Tropicália, The Samba, music is a great entry point into the language.
