Beginners' Portuguese and Linguistics

About this course

Portuguese is the fifth most widely spoken language in the world, the native tongue of over 250 million people across Brazil, Portugal, Mozambique, Angola, Cape Verde, and beyond, making it a language of enormous global reach. Linguistics, meanwhile, is the scientific study of language itself, examining how languages are structured, how they are acquired and used, how they change over time, and what they reveal about human cognition and society. Combining the two at beginner level allows you to build Portuguese from scratch while simultaneously developing the analytical tools to understand language not just as a communication system but as a subject of rigorous intellectual inquiry. At the University of Oxford, this four-year programme is designed for students with no prior knowledge of Portuguese, taking you from the foundations of the language to a level of genuine competence in speak
