Tips

  • We recommend you to learn the Portuguese alphabet as your first step to learn Brazilian Portuguese or the Portuguese from Portugal. It's much easier to understand people speaking Portuguese if you have a good handle of the sounds in our Portuguese alphabet

  • Also, you need to know well the alphabet because you may frequently need to spell your name or an address while talking on the phone or during a trip to Brazil or Portugal; so, to learn how to spell your name in Portuguese is your first lesson!
