FAQ
Frequently asked questions before going to learn Portuguese
A quick read to frame your project before comparing the destinations and schools available.
Where can you study Portuguese with Move and Study?
We are currently confirming our destinations for Portuguese. Rather than publish a rough list, we would sooner talk it through with you: tell us about your plans and an adviser will let you know which schools are available for your dates.
European or Brazilian Portuguese: what is the difference?
It is the same language, with a shared spelling. Pronunciation differs noticeably, as does part of the vocabulary and the way people address each other. What you learn in one country is understood in the other; your ear simply needs a little time to adjust.
Is there an official Portuguese certificate?
Yes. For European Portuguese, CAPLE, which is part of the University of Lisbon, awards certificates from beginner to advanced level. For Brazilian Portuguese, the reference is Celpe-Bras. Tell us which one you are aiming for and we will check whether preparation is possible.
Is Portuguese hard to learn?
On paper it is manageable, especially if you already know some Spanish, French or Italian. The challenge is listening: spoken Portuguese runs sounds together more than Spanish does. That is exactly what immersion improves fastest.
