PRT219H1: Academic Portuguese

For students who have had exposure to spoken Portuguese in an informal context (living in a Portuguese speaking country, or in a Portuguese speaking family) but little to no exposure to written Portuguese. Besides reviewing English/Portuguese spelling differences, written and spoken registers of Portuguese, and basic aspects of the grammatical system, the course (1) provides students with the essential understanding of Portuguese grammatical system; (2) builds their vocabulary; and (3) trains them to express themselves formally in both spoken and written Portuguese.
