Portuguese 114 was designed to fulfill the needs of the Portuguese student who possesses knowledge of Spanish or other Romance languages. The course begins with basic vocabulary and structures advancing at an accelerated pace. Since speakers of Romance languages are usually able to read and understand oral input in Portuguese at a high-intermediate level, classroom activities will emphasize pronunciation, written production, structures and vocabulary that are specific to Portuguese. The class will be conducted entirely in Portuguese.
