Portugalsko je země mořských rybářů, kteří se často stávají dobrými číšníky a občas i talentovanými fotbalisty. Je to místo, kde lidé nosí jména jako José, hrají na kytaru a vychutnávají si paellu a grilované sardinky. Portugalci nacházejí štěstí při rybaření, kormidlování lodí nebo přípravě bacalhau, milované soleného tresky. Tento národ mírných a laskavých lidí však kdysi vládl rozsáhlé říši. Zatímco Španělé si užívají života a Britové se tváří, jako by o svém impériu nikdy nepřišli, Portugalci se zamýšlejí nad tím, co by bylo, kdyby. Jejich zlatý věk v 16. a 18. století skončil kvůli extravagantnímu utrácení monarchů a ničivému zemětřesení. Melancholická národní hudba fado je součástí jejich identity, stejně jako šálek portugalské kávy. Národní fotbalový tým odráží povahu země. Zatímco Brazilci hrají vášnivě a Němci efektivně, Portugalci často v rozhodujících chvílích selhávají, přestože jsou fotbalem posedlí. V každé restauraci je televize, kde se fotbal sleduje téměř každý večer. Jízda po portugalských silnicích přináší směs nebezpečí a vzrušení. Cesty se mohou náhle zúžit nebo zatočit, a setkáte se s různými překážkami. Portugalci byli slavní mořeplavci, a tak se zdá, že úřady považují značení za zbytečné. Pokud však dosáhnete cíle, budete se cítit jako Vasco da Gama na triumfální cestě.

Il Portogallo è poco esteso e semplice da visitare; le sue dimensioni contenute tuttavia vantano una notevole varietà culturale. Località turistiche molto eleganti e sofisticate si susseguono lungo la costa dalla capitale fino all'Estremadura, così come nell'Algarve meridionale. La stessa Lisbona, europea a tutti gli effetti e insieme un po' rétro, offre abbastanza divertimenti da accontentare tutti, come d'altronde Porto - la seconda città del paese -, cuore economico della nazione, forse più famosa per il suo vino liquoroso che per le industrie. Se invece intendete fuggire dal chiasso e dalla modernità non perdetevi le regioni l'Alentejo, la zona montuosa di Beiras e il Tras-os-Montes vi sveleranno il Portogallo più autentico.

This is a one-level course for beginners which uses a comprehension-led approach. It is particularly suitable for adult learners who have not studied for some time, offering strong story lines, with simple language, yet a high cultural content. It is equally suitable for students who want some knowledge of English for leisure or travel, but do not wish to go on to study the language intensively.
