Portuguese courses
Member of the Romanic languages family, Portuguese is the mother tongue of approximately 170 million people.
The portuguese is spoken in the greater part in portugal and Brazil but there are differences in pronounciation, grammar, vocabulary but these are not significant.
An important characteristic of the Portuguese is the nasalisation of certain vowels and diphtongs that can be indicated by a "~".
Like the Spanish, the Portuguese tends to use the reflexive verbs instead of the Passive Voice.
Although the vocabulary of the Portuguese comes greatly from the vulgar latin, there were absorbed many words from Arabic, French, Italian or other peoples from the South America or Africa.
