Why learn Portuguese ?

You might know that Portugal is a small country, but its language has travelled a lot.

Led by famous explorers such as Pedro Álvares Cabral and Vasco da Gama, Portugal has sailed, explored and colonized some countries like Angola, Mozambique, Guinea Bissau, São Tomé and Principe and Brazil. This last one is the biggest home of native Portuguese speakers in the world; over 209 million people live in Brazil, and the majority of them use Portuguese as their mother tongue. With fluency in Portuguese language, you’ll be more than ready to do the “samba” and enjoy one of the world-famous celebrations in the World: Rio Carnival.You may not know until reading it but an important fact about the portuguese language, it’s fastest-growing European language in the world behind English.Yes! Portuguese language is growing fast and has the potential to be an “international communication language” according to UNESCO.
