Português do Brasil vs Português de Porttugal
(Brazilian Portuguese versus Portugal Portuguese)

* Spoken by over 250 million people, Portuguese is the fifth most widely spoken language in the world.
* There are over 1.3 million native speakers of Portuguese living in the United States. Portuguese is the official   
language of eight countries including Brazil, Portugal, and Mozambique, and an unofficial language in
numerous linguistic islands in China and India.
* Since it is so important and so rarely studied, knowledge of Portuguese is a very marketable skill, especially
in commerce and banking in the 21st century global economy.
* The richness of literature in Portuguese is astonishing: from The Lusiads – the great epic poem of the
European Renaissance, to the modern Brazilian novel – the best-kept secret in the Western Hemisphere.
* Brazil is the eighth largest, and one of the fastest growing economies in the world, and features the Amazon
jungle, huge urban cities such as Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, and over 6,000 miles of beaches.
