    Tips for learning Portuguese
    - - - Hey students...it's very simple really. You have to learn those verbs and how to use them efficiently. Practice them daily. Use them. Speak out loud. I learned in grad school that you will make 250,000 errors before you become "minimally proficient" in Portuguese...so do not be afraid to make errors. Practice. Errors, I used to tell my students, are "lessons in wisdom." So get started today and make lots of errors and "get them out of the way!"
    My best students were never hesitant to speak up and to try new utterances. You do the same and you will succeed! So get busy and check out all these helpful sites below that are aimed to help you become proficient in Portuguese. Let me challenge you to open every single link on this page as there are many fine sites to help you learn Portuguese.
    ¡Boa sorte!

    The Culture of Portugal

    The name "Portugal" derives from a Roman or pre-Roman settlement called Portus Cale (the modern city of Porto) near the mouth of the Douro River. The Romans referred to this region as the province of Lusitania, and the prefix Luso (meaning "Portuguese") is still used in some contexts. Portugal occupies the western part of the Iberian Peninsula and is slightly smaller than Indiana. The country is crossed by three large rivers that rise in Spain, flow into the Atlantic, and divide the country into three geographic areas.

    The Culture of Brazil


    Brazilian culture is one of the most fascinating in the world. The only Portuguese speaking country in South America, Brazilian culture has managed to blend elements of many diverse cultures into one incredible mix that is unique in its uninhibited flair and passionate way of life. For centuries Brazil has symbolized a bold escape into a primordial, tropical paradise, igniting the Western imagination like no other South American country. From the intense passion of Carnaval to the immensity of the Amazon jungle, it is a country of mythic proportions and staggering natural beauty, with stretches of unexplored rainforest, islands with pristine tropical beaches, dramatic coastlines and endless rivers. And of course there are the people themselves, who delight visitors with their charm, sensuality and vitality, of which Carnaval, surf, samba, capoeira and the omnipresent beach and party cultures are just a few of the many wonderful byproducts.
