Olá! If you’re thinking of visiting us (or Porto) in the near future, you might as well learn some words beforehand… just in case!

Portuguese people speak English very well, and a lot of them can speak French as well. Let’s face the reality, if you go to the smallest village in Portugal, there might be a chance that none of the locals will be able to answer you if you speak English, but it is the same in every country.

After reading this post you will probably not be able to say more than: Hello, Thank you and Goodbye, but hey! Those are the basics of politeness when meeting with people abroad, isn’t it ?

Here is a compilation of the most basic words you will be using very often during your stay 🙂
