Whilst Portuguese originates from Europe, most of the world's Portuguese speaking people live elsewhere Pincipally in Brazil. It is mainly due to its use there that it ranks as one of the top 10 most widely spoken languages in the world, which in turn makes it one of the most useful languages to learn today.
Cactus offers a variety of Portuguese (Brazilian) courses to suit all needs and budgets. You can take a standard language course from 10 weeks or as little as a weekend crash course.
Is this your level? I have no knowledge or understanding of the language, other than perhaps a few key words and expressions. I have no real idea about the grammar, and have a very limited vocabulary.

Is this your level? I have some knowledge of the language, which I would like to consolidate and extend. I can introduce myself and can describe the immediate world around me. I have come across different grammatical structures, but am not confident of using them. I have a limited ability to communicate and find it difficult to understand the spoken language.
