OPEN SPACE 2022 - Portuguese - a Global Language |
|
Did you know that only 3 languages have official status in 4 continents or more? English, French and Portuguese!! Portuguese is the 5th/6th most spoken language in the world, and used in all aspects of life, from tourism to business to science.
As English has borrowed extensively from Latin and French, there are thousands of words that are exactly the same or very similar in English and Portuguese. So you already know many words in Portuguese actually! Some famous people who are Portuguese speakers include footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, António Guterres (president of the UN), Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen, actress Daniela Ruah (NCIS), and singer Nelly Furtado. Portugal now has a 'Golden Visa' scheme, through which it's possible to acquire Portuguese citizenship - but for that you also need to speak some Portuguese.
