With a market of over 210 million Portuguese-speaking people (the world’s sixth most populous country), Brazil is the best place to learn Portuguese for Business.
Being one of the fastest growing economies worldwide, Brazil is a gigantic potential market filled with exciting business opportunities. It is part of the BRIC countries, but stands out since it is considered to be the least restrictive or intrusive among them. It is relatively easy to conduct business, and every day new companies and executives come to Brazil to start or expand their operations. Consequently, every day the Portuguese language gains more prominence worldwide.
