This course offers students who have a strong working knowledge of Spanish or another Romance language the opportunity to study Brazilian Portuguese in an accelerated format.

Students who have completed a minimum of SPAN112 or the equivalent formal study of another Romance language may seek permission from the instructor to enroll. This course is conducted entirely in Portuguese, and it is anticipated that by the end of the two-semester sequence, students will be able to read texts, easily follow classroom discussion, and proceed to the study of literature and other subjects in Portuguese. Completion of both semesters is required for study abroad in Brazil.
