Where do I learn Continental Portuguese? (College Level)?

Question

Is there any colleges or universities in the U.S that teach continental portuguese exclusively? I plan on going back to visit Portugal and want to give myself a better grasp on the language. If there are, do they have online courses?

Answer 1

I am not aware of any colleges or universities that teach only Continental Portuguese.  Continental Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese are just different dialects of the same language.  Many college-level text books teach the commonalities between the two languages and then point out the subtle differences.  I would recommend trying to listen to radio or television programs from Portugal in order to familiarize yourself with the accent and colloquialisms.  Boa sorte!
