Overview
This module introduces students to Portuguese Language and Culture. Students will acquire the knowledge (vocabulary and grammatical structures) that will enable them to establish basic communication and read simple texts in Portuguese, as well as some knowledge regarding Portugal (such as important towns, historical events, music, etc). There is significant emphasis on listening and speaking, allowing students to become accustomed to the phonetics of Portuguese. The module also presents basic information about the countries where the Portuguese language is spoken.
