CARDINAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM
The Cardinal Language Program is organized by the CCPB (Câmara de Comércio Portugal-Bangladesh), underscoring its mission to support expatriates and immigrants in integrating seamlessly into Portuguese society.
This comprehensive language-learning initiative is specifically tailored for individuals living in Portugal—particularly expatriates and immigrants. The program is designed to overcome linguistic barriers, offer formal language certification, and promote both personal and professional development.
Below is a deeper exploration of the program’s objectives, key features, and benefits.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE
The Portuguese language holds great importance not only for native speakers but also for individuals from Asian countries and people of all nationalities who reside in Portugal. As one of the most widely spoken languages in the world and the official language of Portugal, Portuguese plays a vital role in communication, integration, and opportunity.
For people from Asian countries who move to Portugal for work, education, or business, learning Portuguese is essential for daily life. It helps in building relationships with locals, accessing public services, and navigating legal systems.
Speaking the language also enhances employment opportunities, especially in sectors such as healthcare, hospitality, construction, and customer service, where communication is key.
For every person, regardless of nationality, who lives in Portugal, learning the language is a sign of respect and willingness to integrate into society. It fosters social inclusion, reduces isolation, and allows individuals to participate fully in community life.
Whether it's engaging with neighbors, attending school meetings, or accessing healthcare, knowing Portuguese improves quality of life.
