At Glorick, we offer e-learning courses in Business Portuguese and that’s why we think it’s relevant to mention in this article what the advantages of learning Portuguese are.
5 reasons why you should learn Portuguese
As we said, we think that learning Portuguese provides a lot of benefits given that it has many advantages both on a personal and professional level. As a result of that, it’s considered a good choice as a second language.
In the following article we’ll mention 5 reasons for and the main advantages of learning Portuguese.
Standing out from the crowd
As we mentioned in our last articles about the most important languages for working in Europe, Portuguese is one of the most important languages for working abroad, given that it’s spoken mainly in Portugal and Brazil who are among the biggest exporters and have a strong standing in the world.
For this reason, learning Portuguese brings numerous job offers. It will help you to stand out from the crowd and above all, it will get your CV more attention given that not many people choose to learn this language, despite the large amount of advantages that it offers and that millions of people in the world speak Portuguese.
It offers the chance to learn about the world
Another one of the most important advantages that we would like to mention in this article is that learning Portuguese also gives you the chance to learn more about the world and do it in the right way.
If you speak Portuguese then you can visit Portugal and Brazil and enjoy their culture in every way given that you will be able to understand and be understood perfectly. You will be able to enjoy the charm of both places as if you were a true native. We can assure you that visiting cities such as Lisbon, Porto, Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are unforgettable experiences, which are only enhanced by knowing the language.
The possibility of living in another country
In relation to what we talked about in the previous section, we would like to also highlight that knowing Portuguese or another language gives you the option of living in the countries where said languages are spoken. Specifically, if you study Portuguese you will not only be able to live in Portugal or Brazil, but also in Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, Mozambique, Angola, United States, Canada and even Australia.
It’s easy to learn
We should remember as well that if you’re a native Spanish speaker, Portuguese is considered one of the easiest languages to learn if you already have a command of Spanish. Despite the fact that learning a language will always be a process, it’s considered relatively easy to learn given that Portuguese and Spanish are Romance languages that come from Latin.
It’s also important to mention that not only does Portuguese share vocabulary and some grammatical structures with Spanish, but also with French and even English too.
Despite all that, like all languages, Portuguese also requires practice and consistent learning given that it has some peculiarities that are necessary to know in order to reach a good level and have a strong command of all the different aspects of the language.
Gateway to learning more languages
The final advantage that we would like to highlight is that learning Portuguese as a second language makes learning any other language much easier, above all if it’s another Romance language.
That’s why if you would like to continue learning other languages as well as Portuguese, then you can move on to Italian, French or even Romanian. They all come from Latin and despite evolving over time, they share many characteristics which will make learning them much simpler.
