Finding out more about Portuguese

More than 200 million people speak Portuguese today! And they don't all live in Portugal. You will find them in Angola, Brazil and Mozambique, amongst other places.

You can also find lots of Portuguese speakers in Britain, and Portuguese is an official language of the European Union since 1986. It's not surprising that there are quite a few events with a Portuguese flavour here in the UK >>
