The variety most learners actually want
Brazil accounts for the large majority of the world's 260 million Portuguese speakers, and Brazilian Portuguese is what most learning material, music and television will give you. It is also generally the easier variety to start with: unstressed vowels are pronounced fully, so words separate audibly in a way European Portuguese does not always allow.
One distinctive feature appears immediately. Before an i or e sound, d and t are palatalised — dia (day) comes out close to "djia", and gente (people) closer to "zhenchi". It is one of the most recognisable markers of the accent.
Vocabulary that differs from Portugal
The splits are in exactly the words you need first: trem for train, ônibus for bus, celular for mobile phone, banheiro for bathroom, suco for juice, café da manhã for breakfast.
One word deserves a direct warning. Rapariga is the ordinary, neutral word for "girl" in European Portuguese and appears in textbooks published there. In much of Brazil it carries a strongly derogatory sense. Brazilian Portuguese uses menina or garota.
Grammar you will notice on day one
Brazilian Portuguese forms the continuous with a gerund — estou comendo, I am eating — where Portugal says estou a comer. And você is the standard way to say "you" in almost all situations, with third-person verb forms, which means you can defer the tu conjugations that European Portuguese requires.
Frequently Asked Questions
How different is Brazilian Portuguese from European Portuguese?
They are mutually intelligible varieties of one language, with differences comparable to British and American English in vocabulary but larger in pronunciation. Brazilian Portuguese pronounces unstressed vowels fully, which most learners find easier to follow.
Which variety should a beginner learn?
Choose by destination. Brazil has far more speakers and learning material, and its pronunciation is kinder to beginners. If you are heading to Portugal, start with European Portuguese rather than adjusting later.
Is there a word I should avoid?
Rapariga. It is the ordinary word for girl in Portugal and appears in textbooks published there, but in much of Brazil it is strongly derogatory. Use menina or garota.
Does it include Brazilian slang?
Coverage focuses on standard Brazilian vocabulary and common everyday usage. Regional slang varies enormously across a country of Brazil's size and no dictionary of this scale covers all of it.
