Instructions and resources

1. Portuguese has two major varieties: European and Brazilian. They are the same language with their own characteristics. When relevant, we will signpost a specific variety by using abbreviations, EP (European Portuguese) and BP (Brazilian Portuguese), or images, Brazil and Portugal’s flag (see below).

Note:

When we use BP, we refer to Brazil. But when we use EP we refer to Portugal and all other countries as they tend to follow the European Portuguese variety.
