Portuguese Course in Lisbon
Anonymous Posted: 30.07.2004, 15:02
Unregistered User My company is posting me to Brazil, and I was thinking of doing an intensive Portuguese course in Lisbon before being sent, but a friend of mine told me Portuguese Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese are quite different. Is it worth my while to do the course?

Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese are very different, especially in terms of pronunciation, but if you are a beginner it shouldn't matter all that much -- I mean, the basic stuff is more or less the same, it's later on that you will find the two diverging. Most people find Brazilian a little easier to understand than Portuguese Portuguese, as well, so if you start with the difficult version, you might find it easier later.
