Learn Portuguese with our Expert Tutors

Brazilian Portuguese: Exploring the Language, Literature, and Culture

Brazil, the largest country in South America, is home to a diverse and dynamic culture shaped by its rich History and strong European influences. As the only Portuguese-speaking country in the continent, learning about Brazilian Portuguese opens up a whole new world of exploration and understanding.

Language: Brazilian Portuguese shares many similarities with European Portuguese, however, it also has its own unique variations and slang words that can be challenging for students. Our interactive lessons and experienced teachers can help students master the language with ease.
Literature: Brazilian literature has a long History dating back to the 16th century, and it is a major part of the country's cultural identity. From the poetic works of Vinicius de Moraes to the magical realism of Gabriel García Márquez, our curated reading materials and in-depth discussions will allow students to dive deep into the world of Brazilian literature.
Culture: The cultural diversity of Brazil is evident in its music, food, art, and architecture. Exploring popular music genres such as bossa nova and samba, trying traditional dishes like feijoada, and admiring colonial and modern architecture will give students a deeper understanding and appreciation of Brazilian culture.
Colonization and History: Brazil's History is marked by its colonization by the Portuguese in the 16th century and its role as a major hub for the transatlantic slave trade. Our lessons will cover these important historical events and their impact on Brazilian society.
Immigration and African Influence: Immigration from Europe, Africa, and Asia has played a significant role in shaping Brazil's Society and Culture. The African influence is particularly evident in Brazilian music, dance, and cuisine, which students will get to explore and appreciate through our engaging lessons.
Religion: Catholicism is the dominant religion in Brazil, heavily influenced by the Portuguese colonizers. However, there is also a strong Afro-Brazilian religion called Candomblé, which students can learn about in our lessons.
Portuguese Empire and Explorers: Brazil was the center of the Portuguese empire in the 16th and 17th centuries, which greatly influenced its culture and language. Our lessons will delve into the History of the Portuguese empire and the brave explorers who charted new territories and expanded the empire.
European Union: As a member of the European Union, Brazil has strong economic and cultural ties with Portugal and other European countries. Our lessons will touch on the present-day relationship between Brazil and the European Union, including the benefits and challenges it brings.

Lusophone: Connecting with the Portuguese-Speaking World

In addition to Brazil, there are 9 other countries where Portuguese is an official language, making up the Lusophone world. Through our lessons, students will not only learn about the unique aspects of Brazilian Portuguese but also discover the commonalities and connections with other Portuguese-speaking countries.
