Why learn Portuguese? Although most people prefer Spanish when it comes to learn a second language, Portuguese is not very far behind when it comes to number of speakers. More than 230 million people speak Portuguese around the world, mainly in Portugal, Brazil and countries like Angola, Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau. Portuguese is the 7th most widely spoken language in the world!
If you already speak another Romance language like French or Italian, learning Portuguese will be a breeze. If, on the other hand, this is the first one you learn, learning the others will likewise be easier. Portuguese is not only a beautiful and poetic language. It is also the language of Brazil, a country with a vibrant culture and one of the largest economies of the world. If you are more interested in Europe, Portuguese will open you the doors of its mother land.
