Brazil became a Portuguese colony (and, in that way, became the Brazil we know today) on the 22<sup>nd<\/sup> of April, 1500. As with Christopher Columbus thinking he\u2019d gotten to India and calling the American Natives \u201cIndians,\u201d the 2nd Portuguese India Armada was headed to India \u2013 and landed in Brazil by accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the Portuguese knew a good thing when they found it and turned that accident into a very lucrative colonization. Brazil was colonized by the Portuguese until the 7<sup>th<\/sup> of September, 1822, which is now celebrated as Brazil&#8217;s Independence Day. (This is skipping a huge amount of fascinating history, of course.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-portuguese-dialect-should-you-learn\">Which Portuguese Dialect Should You Learn?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All of which leads to \u2013 you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pimsleur.com\/learn-portuguese-brazilian\/subscription-all-access\">learn to speak Portuguese<\/a>, but which Portuguese language do you want to learn? Portuguese is spoken in Portugal, Brazil, Mozambique, Angola, Guinea-Bissau, East Timor, Macau, Cape Verde, and S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The largest of those countries is Brazil, and their form of Portuguese is now returning to Portugal and influencing the language in the home of their former colonists through Brazil\u2019s catchy music and addictive soap operas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Portuguese spoken in Brazil versus the Portuguese spoken in Portugal can be compared to the differences between American and British English. There are some differences in vocabulary and grammar, but the phonology and prosody are much more different from each other (even more than the Parisian and Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois varieties of French).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, it does matter which Portuguese-speaking country you go to when you decide to learn the language!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-learn-to-speak-portuguese-with-pimsleur\">Learn to Speak Portuguese with Pimsleur<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is very much on my mind because I\u2019m the co-writer of the newest version of Pimsleur\u2019s Brazilian Portuguese I. I\u2019ve had to do all this research while working on the program. I would say that I was happy to get the Brazilian form of the language \u2013 because who doesn\u2019t like long walks on perfect beaches, watching sunsets on those beaches with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chowhound.com\/recipes\/caipirinha-10046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">caipirinha<\/a> (Brazil\u2019s national cocktail) in hand, and of course, partying the hot Rio nights away during Carnaval! (This is not to neglect their world-class museums, of course, and many people think \u201cBrazil\u201d and then think \u201cfootball\u201d \u2013 or soccer! \u2013 as their very next thought.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I jokingly tell friends that Portuguese is the \u201clanguage of cats\u201d because, mostly, of the word for \u201cno\u201d \u2013 which is \u201c<i>n\u00e3o<\/i>\u201d \u2013 and which is pronounced very much like the \u201cmeow\u201d my family\u2019s cat speaks with some regularity. Unfortunately, this has not let me in on the secret communications of felines, but I wonder if cats don\u2019t understand Portuguese speakers better than English speakers. (Not that they won\u2019t ignore either if the mood suits them.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, seriously, Brazilian Portuguese has a flow and music, which is a pleasure to hear. It is no wonder that Brazilians create such excellent music because they are halfway to singing already in just their regular chit-chat. And there is another reason to learn to speak Portuguese!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-my-favorite-portuguese-words-from-the-pimsleur-course\">My Favorite Portuguese Words from the Pimsleur Course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Two of my favorite words from the course include the \u201c<i>-zinho<\/i>\u201d diminutive ending. The <i>cafezinho<\/i> is a traditional Brazilian cup of coffee, similar to Italian espresso. It literally means \u201ca little coffee,\u201d a small, sweet, and intense shot of caffeine. It was offered to guests at business meetings and at regular intervals throughout the day. Sadly, the proliferation of Italian-style caf\u00e9s has endangered this indigenous tradition, and in the bigger cities of Brazil, you have to specifically ask to get the traditional <em>cafezinho<\/em>. Still, I think it is worth trying if you visit Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not unrelated is <i>tchauzinho<\/i>, which literally means \u201clittle goodbye.\u201d It\u2019s a casual, \u201cBye!\u201d or \u201cLaters!\u201d sort of leave-taking. But I think it is a good word to sum up Brazilian Portuguese, a friendly language, and the exuberance of the culture is expressed by all the words, which are so much fun to say. It\u2019s a pleasure to listen to \u2013 and a pleasure to speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you are going to Brazil, take a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pimsleur.com\/learn-portuguese-brazilian\/subscription-all-access\">Brazilian Portuguese<\/a> course to learn to speak the right sort of Portuguese. However, Pimsleur also offers a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pimsleur.com\/learn-portuguese-european\/subscription-all-access\">European Portuguese<\/a> course if you visit Portugal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way, I hope you have fun as you learn to speak Portuguese!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, you want to learn to speak Portuguese?
