The Portuguese language has a remarkable multicultural position, being among the 10 most important languages spoken worldwide. It is a pluricontinental language (the most spoken in the southern hemisphere), currently with over 260 million speakers (3.7% of the world population), being also the official language of the nine member countries of the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP) and the working or official language of international organisations such as the European Union, the African Union and Mercosur.
Porto Accounting and Business School offers semester courses in Portuguese language and culture to mobility students. The courses can now also be attended by external students who wish to acquire elementary knowledge (A1 and/or A2) in Portuguese Language and Culture, depending upon availability of places.
The courses have the duration of one semester, with an average of 3 hours of lessons per week.
In the first semester, only level A1 is offered. In the second semester, both level A1 and level A2 are offered.
To attend A1 level, students do not require any previous knowledge of Portuguese. At A2 level, students must have attended a level A1 course or have previous formal or non-formal knowledge of Portuguese.
