Portuguese Facts
Portuguese is a pluricentric language, with two main groups of dialects: those of Brazil, and those of the 'Old World'
Portuguese has many obvious grammatical and lexical similarities with other Romance languages, and is to a small extent mutually intelligible with Spanish and Italian: Portuguese speakers would not generally need any formal study of grammar and vocabulary before being able to understand reasonably simple sentences in these languages (and vice versa)
Over 51% of the population of South America speak Portuguese, and it is also a major lingua franca in Africa

Those who have benefitted from these Portuguese classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Portuguese culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Portuguese.

Hull
A large town in North Yorkshire, Harrogate forms a conurbation with Knaresborough, the population of the combined urban area being around 85,000. Historically Harrogate was primarily a hub for agriculture and the woollen industry. Nowadays the town is used as a commercial, conference and exhibition centre, owing mainly to the vast array of hotels built during the period before the First World War when Harrogate was a popular getaway for the English élite. Harrogate also acts as a dormitory town for commuters working in Leeds and Bradford, and is also the site of regionally renowned traditional eateries, Betty's Tea Rooms.
