As of this autumn term, starting on 12th October, we'll be offering a vast range of new services that we hope will add a great deal of value to your Portuguese studies, and greatly improve the results of your learning.
These new features emerged as a result of the online training format, which we have adopted since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis. This terrible pandemic has accelerated the move towards digitalisation amongst human societies and will inevitably and permanently reshape the way we live, communicate, and do business.

The CPLP ( Community of countries of Portuguese language) is formed of nine countries from four continents. All countries have their specificities in the way Portuguese is spoken, but Brazil is by far the country with more linguistic singularities relatively to the others, which are closer to European Portuguese.

This photo was taken by one of our teachers in the "Mercadão" (Big Market), the municipal market of São Paulo, Brazil. Looking attentively to the image there are so many things to learn... You can see the flags of Brazil and Portugal. Then look at the logo on the left side. The place is very aptly named "Empório Luso Brasileiro - Rei do bacalhau" (Luso Brazilian Emporium - King of the Cod).

This post reproduces a story published by Javier Rioyo in the Spanish newspaper El País (25th Jan 2015). The story is particularly interesting for our school, as we teach special courses of Portuguese for Spanish speakers!
