A HISTORY OF THE PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE IN 10 WORDS
06 MAY 2024, 12:00 EDT (via Zoom)
To celebrate World Portuguese Language Day, we invite you to embark on a journey around the world, tracing the history of the Portuguese language. In this session with Marco Neves, we will look at words that have come from distant lands and are used daily by Portuguese speakers. He will also explore words that came from our language and have reached the rest of the world, revealing the history of not just the Portuguese language, but also of the world itself.
This event will be conducted in Portuguese and is for PLD members only. We hope to see you there!
