The First Online Portuguese Courses Launch on Coursera

The first Portuguese courses from Brazil’s top educational institutions launch today on Coursera. Our Portuguese learners now have access to free, career-relevant courses from USP, UNICAMP, and the Lemann Foundation. Five courses taught natively in Portuguese focus on subject areas like engineering, accounting, and teaching.
