Learn Portuguese

What is the difference between European and Brazilian Portuguese?

Brazilian Portuguese is an offshoot of the language of the mother country, Portugal. There are differences in vocabulary (distance and immigration have contributed to lexical differences between Brazilian and European Portuguese), pronunciation (Brazilian Portuguese is more nasal and Brazilians speak more slowly, pronouncing all the vowels), grammar and spelling (but the two countries have made efforts to standardize the rules of spelling). It is often said that the Portuguese understand the Brazilians more easily than the other way round: this could be due to Brazilian music and soap-operas, both very popular in Portugal.

Conversation Piece offers a wide variety of Portuguese language training options to suit your availability and tuition needs. Whether you wish to learn Portuguese in a one-to-one with a trainer, you and your partner wish to learn Portuguese together or you and a small group of friends wish to take Portuguese lessons together, we can arrange for a Portuguese trainer to come to your preferred location (your home, your office etc.) or we can arrange for you to use our training room (week days only).

Our teachers recommend a minimum of 1.5 hour lesson per week but this is entirely flexible.
