Lilian's POrtuguese Language tutoring

Portuguese is a Romance Language with roots in Latin. The interaction with many Amerindian (particularly the Tupi) and African languages influenced Brazilian Portuguese and caused it to subtly change from the Portuguese language spoken in its home country (Portugal). 

Further, after Brazilian independence from Portugal in 1822, different waves of immigration brought other linguistic contributions from various cultures. 

According to the Ethnologue (2014), Portuguese is now the 6th most widely spoken language in the world with about 203 million speakers.

As a country mother tongue, it is spoken in 9 nations and 4 continents: Brazil, Portugal, Mozambique, Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé e Príncipe, East Timor and Equatorial Guinea. It is also the official language of Macau, a special administrative region of China
