Portuguese
Bem-vindo to the Portuguese Section Website
Portuguese is an official language in Portugal, Brazil, Angola, São Tomé and Príncipe, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Macau, Equatorial Guinea, and Timor-Leste. In total, approximately 227.9 million people worldwide speak Portuguese as their native language. Compared to this high number of native speakers, only around 30 million people are learning Portuguese as a foreign language—making it a valuable asset on any résumé.
One of the most challenging aspects of the language is its pronunciation: there are nine oral vowels, five nasal vowels, ten diphthongs, five nasal diphthongs, and 25 consonants, all of which contribute to a complex and distinctive sound system.
