Top 5 Reasons to learn Portuguese

1) Huge Portuguese-speaking Population

Portuguese is one of the 7 most-spoken languages worldwide, with over 250 million speakers — mostly residing in Portugal and Brazil, but also in several African countries.

2) A Must for Music Fans

Portugal and Brazil have such rich musical traditions. From bossa nova to Musica Popular Brasileira (Brazilian pop music) to Forró (Brazilian folk music) and the funk (Brazilian rap), Brazilian musicians have won international acclaim.

3) A Gateway to Romance Languages

If you speak one Romance language (Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian and Romanian), it’ll be much easier for you to learn them all because they share the Latin origin and have similar spellings, grammar and sentence structures.

4) Growing Business Opportunities

Ranking the 12^th in the world in terms of its GDP, Brazil is part of the economic conglomerate of emerging economies that include Russia, India and China. As these economies become stronger, their influence in international business and politics will become more prevalent.

5. Amazing Places for Globetrotters

 While the Brazilian Carnival is on top of everybody’s lists, the Agitágueda Art Festival in Portugal is internationally well-known where hundreds of colorful umbrellas cover various streets of the city for 23 whole days.
