What kind of Portuguese do they speak in Brazil?

Brazilian Portuguese is often seen by many as a slightly ‘easier’ version of the language, as it is generally spoken more slowly and the vowel sounds are more open. With 200 million speakers, Brazilian Portuguese certainly has the edge in numbers! However, when it comes to a language - it’s all relative! It’s up to you which kind of Portuguese you decide to study, but when Brazilians and Portuguese speak together, they understand one another easily, so you needn’t worry. A Portuguese course in Brazil will give you the chance to open up to 250 million Portuguese speakers worldwide!
