BUSINESS SPANISH FOR PORTUGUESE SPEAKERS
Business Spanish course designed for Portuguese people. It aims to provide native Portuguese-speaking trainees with the skills to effectively communicate in Spanish in a professional setting.
Overall goal
For Portuguese people, the closeness of the languages makes learning Spanish easier. This course was therefore designed to work on the differences and similarities that cause interference between the languages and overcome them. The training highlights the subtle but constant differences that can be found between the two languages.
The activities carried out by trainees are those that Portuguese people find the hardest. Time and energy are not wasted on activities that are not challenging for Portuguese speakers, such as listening comprehension exercises.
