The
Portuguese Language
The text briefly describes the history of the
language, from its origins to nowadays. It also provides maps and information about
Portuguese-speaking countries. Some of the page is not in English, which may already be
used as material of study. Links include other sources and pages with Portuguese texts in an English site.
Brazilian
Portuguese Language
Brazilian Portuguese differs in many ways from that
of Portugal (just like English and American English may differ from each other). This site
in Finland offers on-line grammar (w/ brief explanations on word categories and usage) and
some useful tips about language use: how to say the time, describing things, human body
vocabulary, etc.). This site is highly recommended if you want to take a look at
Portuguese grammar.

signs and accents (e.g.: ê, à, ã, ç, etc.). Integrates on-line spell check
and correction and makes it possible to include the dictionary in any page.
