What`s the difference between Portuguese from Portugal and Portuguese from Brazil?
Portuguese from Portugal and Brazilian Portuguese are two sides of the same coin. It`s like British and American! You`ll notice some differences in the accent, vocabulary, grammar and spelling, formal and informal speech. However, it is still the same language and you will be able to read and communicate with people from both countries, so I will be able to help you whatever your choice is.
