Formal And Informal Speech

Grammar And Spelling

The Accents

Vocabulary

Portuguese is a language that has different pronouns depending on the formality of the situation. In Brazil, you can address most people with você in informal contexts, but it works in some formal situations as well, bringing it closer to the classless universality of you in the English language. In Portugal, however, tu is used exclusively for friends and family, and as well as in other casual situations.

Answer 2

Some people find Brazilian Portuguese to be phonetically pleasing to the ear with its open vowels, but think that European Portuguese sounds somewhat mumbled and doughy. Brazilian accents have a lilting and strong cadence to foreign ears, making BP initially easier to learn and understand.
