Worldway Lisbon News: According to local Portuguese media "Público", former President of Portugal Jorge Sampaio delivered a speech today, suggesting that the country should increase investment in the promotion and internationalization of the Portuguese language, including Portuguese language education, its status in the United Nations, and international influence.
The former President emphasized that in terms of Portuguese language education, Portuguese must dominate the teaching in schools. Learning and inheriting the Portuguese language is essential for us Portuguese people and those living in Portugal, and it is also the responsibility and mission of our descendants.
Projects for learning, education, application, updating, and promoting the Portuguese language are fundamental, and increasing funding in these areas will promote the nationalization of the Portuguese language.
He also mentioned that in the pursuit of internationalizing the Portuguese language, we will not give up efforts to make Portuguese one of the official languages of the United Nations.
Speaking of the promotion of the Portuguese language, we see good news from the Lisbon Immigration Bureau: the Lisbon City Foundation offers free Portuguese language and cultural learning courses, which are divided into three levels, totaling 75 hours. This undoubtedly provides more support for language learning for new immigrants in Portugal, facilitating their integration into the community.
It is also evident from the bilingual promotional materials that Chinese immigrants make up a significant portion of the new immigrants in Portugal. Friends who want to learn Portuguese or improve their Portuguese skills should seize this opportunity and quickly register online!
