💚 Celebrate UN Portuguese Language Day with film! We're pleased to offer a curriculum guide in Portuguese for River of Gold.

River of Gold follows journalists who specialize in war reportage as they witness the criminal eradication of the Amazon. The film reaffirms the right of the rainforest to exist as a repository of priceless biodiversity and not as the toxic remains of man’s greed for gold.

Latin letters 𝘬, 𝘺, and 𝘸 were formally added to Portuguese alphabet in 2009.

The longest word in Portuguese 🇧🇷 🇵🇹 is 𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦, meaning unconstitutional.

English words, embarrass & zombie (as in stupid russians) were derived from Portuguese, 𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘢ç𝘢𝘳 & 𝘻𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘪.

Portuguese breakthroughs: I remembered the article before a name, and spontaneously used "é que" in a question! 😁 (Both in the same question, in fact.)

Also, it amuses me that ot1h, the Portuguese swallow SO MANY VOWELS, but otoh, add a redundant "é que" to questions.

O que tens de fazer? (What do you have to do?) ->
O que é que tens de fazer? (What is it you have to do?)
First option is also correct, but second generally used.

What a date. Mar. 20, 2003. In a day (almost) like today, 20 years ago. Overture of the Museum of the Portuguese Language. I was there, then returned many times.

I'm trying to learn Brazilian Portuguese. If there's anyone in the UK with simple Brazilian Portuguese books such as children's books they'd like to get rid of, that would be great. I would pay for postage and am happy to pay a fair price towards the books.

Does anyone know of, and better still can recommend, an online/audio/video language course for learning Portuguese, that targets European Portuguese not Brazilian?

Oh and for a native English speaker.
