For example, you’ll learn greetings, (olá, oi, bom dia), requests (alguem podería...?) and ways of saying thank you (muito obrigada/o). The more advanced you become, the more specific your lessons will be, the more complex language skills you will master and the more your teacher will focus on the topics most relevant to you and your needs!
More reasons to learn Portuguese
Still haven’t decided if learning Portuguese is worth the effort? You should consider that it is a Romance language (descended from Latin) and, so, is a linguistic sister to Romanian, French, Spanish and Italian, making them easier to learn once you’ve mastered Portuguese. Contact us today and start learning Portuguese online!
