Learning European Portuguese enriches travel and business ventures in Portugal, a country known for its history, tourism, and growing tech scene. It also enables better communication with Portuguese communities worldwide. For basic fluency, English speakers need about 1,500-2,000 vocabulary words. Expect to spend around 600-750 hours to reach general proficiency. Portuguese grammar highlights include verb conjugations across various tenses like presente, pretérito perfeito, and imperfeito. Understanding the use of definite articles and gendered nouns is also essential. Despite its unique sounds and grammatical intricacies, mastery facilitates both professional and social interactions in Portuguese-speaking environments.
