Language Course

 

Learning Brazilian Portuguese

We can now officially confirm that all Booming Brazil-participants can follow a Brazilian language course! Lectures take place in the Horst building on Monday evenings; you can find the exact schedule below. Since we do not ask additional contribution we expect that everybody attends the lectures. If the lecture dates do not fit your schedule, please contact Léon.

 

Course information

Booming Brazil coordinates the language course programme.  “Portubras Taalles” supplies the lecturer, misses B. Pessoa Lessa. She studied Portuguese language and culture at the University of Utrecht. Pessoa Lessa also teaches courses for several other study- or business tours.

 During the language course we expect to learn about the basics of the Brazilian language. Several points we’d like to address are:

·         Habits and culture

·         Ordering foods & drinks

·         Finding your way though the city

·         Pronunciation and grammar basics

 

Required material

The language course requires one book (including instruction CD): Basiscursus Portugees van Brazilië, É isso aí! (2006, J. Abreu de Souza) ISBN13: 978 90 6283 497 6

 Booming Brazil orders one book you can preview in our office. We advice you to order this book (~ €30) as well. You can do this on, for example, bol.com, selexys or intertaal.nl. Although you do not have to pay extra for the course, the costs of the book are on your own account.
