About this course
The course develops Brazilian Portuguese through revision and further work on grammar, including different past-tense forms and distinctions between colloquial and formal language. Learners practise discussing tourism and ecology, making comparisons and expressing opinions, while exploring aspects of Portuguese-speaking cultures.
