Come on! Just hard is it to learn Portuguese anyway?

Good Question! Many people tell me how much they would love to learn Portuguese but they keep hearing how darn and downright difficult it is

. Well the truth be told learning Portuguese is no more or less difficult than learning any other language in fact much easier than Chinese or Arabic because Portuguese uses Latin characters just like English does.

In order to make things easier for you let me give you a little background in Portuguese and some tips in learning another language. Portuguese is a member of the Romance family of languages which includes it's more famous cousin French (which for many English speakers is the first foreign language they attempt to learn at school) and it`s very close cousin Spanish.

Others relatives include Italian and Romanian (yes really!)- They are all descended from Pig Latin which is a rather impolite way of saying from the common Latin spoken by Roman soldiers who usually occupied the country in ancient times.

So I hear you ask how does make it easier for me to learn Portuguese?

Be patient as I am getting to that. If you already have Spanish or Italian as a second language then learning Portuguese is going to be a breeze for you. Portugal and Spain are neighbours on the Iberian Peninsula so if you can speak one language then you more or less understand the other. Don't make the mistake the Brazilians do and think just because you speak Portuguese you can automatically speak Spanish or vice versa, no you will still need a few months to learn it, but only a few months and not certainly not much longer.

How hard is it for to learn Portuguese for English speakers if you do not speak any other Romance languages? That depends on how motivated you are, how good your teachers are, your reasons for learning the language and also how much contact you have with the language.

The fastest way to learn a language is to live in a country where it is spoken. For Portuguese that is Brazil, Portugal, Angola or any of the other Portuguese speaking countries of Africa. If you have the time then spending a month in a home stay in Belo Horizonte, Brazil and studying Portuguese during the day need not be so expensive.

If that is not an option for you then you can study online with native speakers who are trained teachers. This combined with carefully chosen course material will make it much easier for you to learn Portuguese and at a much faster rate.
