Why Learn Brazilian Portuguese?

static block photo

Brazilian Portuguese is the most common variety of the Portuguese language. In Brazil alone, more than 200 million use the language as their first tongue. Brazil is the only South American country with Brazilian Portuguese as the official language. It’s also an officially recognized minority language in Suriname, Columbia, Uruguay, Paraguay, and French Guinea. While distinct from European Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese is mutually intelligible with its Old World root language. A handful of local and regional dialects give the language interesting variety in pronunciation and phrasing. Some of the main dialects include Cearense, Caipira, Mineiro, Central Northeastern, and Gaucho.

Whether you’d like to learn Brazilian Portuguese to connect with a newly found relative or simply take Brazilian Portuguese courses to broaden your knowledge, Pimsleur puts you in control of your learning journey.

Compared to other languages, Brazilian Portuguese is considered a relatively “easy” language for native English speakers to acquire. Our learning platform offers accessible Brazilian Portuguese lessons that you’re able to access on your home computer, or on the go with the Pimsleur app.

What are the main challenges when learning the Brazilian Portuguese language?

While Brazilian Portuguese uses the Latin alphabet and has some similarities with English, the language’s vowel-heavy structure (there are 9 oral vowels) puts extra emphasis on sounding words correctly (more on that in the next section) and using them in the proper context. As you’re learning the Brazilian Portuguese language, you’ll also encounter a whole new vocabulary, along with other grammatical challenges. Pimsleur’s assortment of tools and lessons, including Build Your Skills, Core Lessons, and Digital Flash cards, helps ensure you’re picking up the unique vocabulary and grammar as you learn to speak Brazilian Portuguese.

How important is pronunciation in learning Brazilian Portuguese?

The ability to learn Brazilian Portuguese is one thing; the ability to speak the language correctly, with proper pronunciation, is quite another thing. Pimsleur covers all the bases as you study Brazilian Portuguese. The language places a special emphasis on stressed syllables and unstressed syllables. Plus, some consonants are sounded out with the back part of the tongue, others with the back part of your mouth (the uvula), and others with your actual vocal folds. Thanks to our Voice Coach with AI pronunciation feedback, you’ll be able to progress through Pimsleur’s Brazilian Portuguese courses with poise and purpose.

Is the Brazilian Portuguese course suitable for complete beginners?

One reason why our Brazilian Portuguese lessons are so popular is that anyone can learn the language, regardless of skill level. Starting with zero experience?
