Why Learn Portuguese?
Portuguese is a Romance language and originated from Latin. Nearly 200 million speak Portuguese. It is interesting to know that many African and Asian countries have Portuguese as their official language. Portuguese is becoming more and more popular in Asia. The number of Portuguese speakers has grown particularly in Macau, China, due to the region’s increase in diplomatic and economic relations with Portugal and other Lusophone countries. In addition, there is a growing Portuguese-speaking population in the United States and many other countries as it is an uncommonly taught language, being fluent in it will probably serve you well when you look for a good income job.
