Portuguese for younger children – beginners

Knowing Portuguese opens the door to a world of culture, history and economy that goes beyond the borders of Europe and extends into several continents. Portuguese is the sixth most spoken language worldwide. With around 260 million speakers, it is among the more important global languages. This fact is underlined by its use in countries such as Brazil, Angola, Mozambique and, of course, Portugal. Proficiency in Portuguese brings numerous personal and professional advantages, which is why we recommend our Portuguese for young children – beginners course.

At the cultural level, knowing Portuguese allows a deeper understanding of the rich heritage of Portuguese-speaking nations. Lovers of literature can read the works of great authors such as Fernando Pessoa, José Saramago and Clarice Lispector in the original. This opens up new dimensions of their artistic expression. Music such as Brazilian samba and bossa nova or Portuguese fado likewise becomes more accessible and meaningful when you understand the language in which the emotions and stories are expressed.

Portuguese is also extremely important in the economic sphere, particularly because of Brazil, which is one of the world’s biggest economies. Knowing Portuguese makes it easier to establish business contacts and opens up opportunities for work in an international environment, above all in the fields of commerce, tourism, education and diplomacy. Businesses operating in the global market are keen to recruit individuals who are proficient in languages with the large number of speakers, and in this context Portuguese represents a significant competitive advantage.

Not only that, but learning Portuguese also builds personal skills such as adaptability, communication and cultural empathy. Learning a language is always also about learning a different way of thinking and expressing oneself, which opens up space for better intercultural connection and understanding. For those who love to travel, knowledge of Portuguese is essential, since it makes it easier to connect with people and allows a deeper experience of travel in countries where Portuguese is official or widely spoken.
