Online Portuguese Speaking, Reading & Writing Courses

Ola!

Most Western European countries fancied themselves as colonial powers in the 15th and 16th centuries. In the early days of colonisation, Portugal was a leading nation and is credited with the discovery of Brazil. She extended her footprint to much of Asia as well, including India (as the Goa afficionados well know!). In her heydays, Portugal established the oldest Engineering College in Rio De Janeiro and Asia's oldest Medical College.

Apart from Portugal, Portuguese is spoken in Macau, Angola, Mozambique, Brazil and many other countries.

Following the great Lisbon earthquake in 1755 and subsequent war with France, Portugal's opulence diminished to a large extent. 

Tourism and football contribute greatly to the attractions of Portugal.

Knowing the language enables you to communicate effortlessly with the locals, find jobs with ease and in a million small ways, it makes life so much more comfortable, fulfilling and interesting!

Fun fact- When you think of surfing do you automatically think of Hawaii? Think again - Portugal is the top surfing destination with 365 days of surf in a year! (in a leap year they have an extra day of surf!)
