Português Avançado 1 is an advanced intermediate class with a focus on deepening listening, speaking, writing, and developing better communication in Portuguese in a conversational style (without translating into one’s native language).

 

Avançado 1 will help you enlarge your vocabulary, put composed verbal structures to use, practice writing and deep listening skills in practical ways, and more elaborate conversations with Portuguese native speakers. We will work with readings, films and recordings focusing on Brazilian and other Portuguese-based revolutionary thinkers and writers, such as Paulo Freire, Djamila Ribeiro, Florestan Fernandes, and others.

 

This course has an advanced approach for people who already speak Intermediate Portuguese

 

We will also look at some differences between Brazilian, African, South Asian and European/Continental Portuguese. We will engage with the history of Brazilian people, its revolutionary struggles, and other means of resistance. You will continue to learn about historical and contemporary contexts of the working classes and social movements in Brazil, and other Portuguese-speaking countries.

 More information: 

Portuguese is a language with roots in Portugal and also the official language spoken today in 10 countries: Brazil, Mozambique, Angola, Portugal, Guinea-Bissau, East Timor, Equatorial Guinea, Macau, Cape Verde, and São Tomé and Príncipe. Portuguese is arguably among the 9 or 10 most spoken languages in the world, but only 5 percent of its speakers live in its original home Portugal. It is estimated that 270 million people speak Portuguese today, amongst which nearly 254 million are native speakers. It is the second most spoken Romance language, after Spanish. Brazil’s 211 million people is the largest Portuguese-speaking population in the world.

 

As a colonial language, it suffered many transformations, particular to each locale. It is nowadays also a result of cultural resistance of the indigenous and enslaved people during colonialism. It is spoken in the U.S particularly in the Northeast, in California and in Florida, where native Portuguese speakers, who are immigrants from Africa, South Asia, Europe and Brazil have concentrated historically. In nearby regions, it is more widely spoken in areas of Newark, New Jersey; Astoria, Queens; in the coastal regions of Connecticut, and Massachusetts.
