FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Brazilian Portuguese

The most immediate difference is the accent: Brazilians pronounce every vowel openly, while European Portuguese speakers 'swallow' many unstressed vowels. Vocabulary also differs: 'ônibus' (bus) in Brazil vs 'autocarro' in Portugal, 'celular' (mobile phone) vs 'telemóvel'. The grammar is broadly identical, with a few differences in the use of 'tu' vs 'você'.
Yes. CELPE-Bras (Certificado de Proficiência em Língua Portuguesa para Estrangeiros) is the only official Brazilian certification for Portuguese proficiency, issued by the Brazilian Ministry of Education. It is required for admission to Brazilian universities and for certain work visas. We prepare students at every level with speaking, listening and writing exercises.
Music is one of the best gateways into Brazilian Portuguese. Bossa nova (João Gilberto, Tom Jobim) has slow, clear diction that's ideal for beginners. MPB (Música Popular Brasileira) and sertanejo (Brazilian country) cover everyday vocabulary. Our teachers can work with the lyrics of your favorite artists as a learning tool.
Yes, it's one of the more accessible Romance languages. The open pronunciation of Brazilian Portuguese (unlike European Portuguese) is easier for English speakers, and the vocabulary shares many Latin roots with English via French and Latin. With regular classes and regular practice, an A2-B1 level is achievable in 4-6 months.
The carioca accent (from Rio) is melodic with 's' sounds pronounced like 'sh'. The paulistano (from São Paulo) is more neutral and often used as the reference. The nordeste region (Bahia, Recife, Fortaleza) has very melodic, folk-flavored accents. The gaucho (Rio Grande do Sul, on the Argentine border) carries a Hispanic influence. Our teachers come from different regions and explain the nuances to you.
