The city's [population table for 31 December 2025](https://lhm.muenchen.swm.de/dam/jcr:89a2dcdb-76bb-427d-8930-61a956092c08/jt250115.pdf) records 3,522 Brazilian citizens and 3,550 Portuguese citizens in its non-German population registered at their main residence. The measure is citizenship, so these figures should be read separately from birthplace, ancestry or language use. The distinction between language varieties is visible locally too: [LMU's Portuguese course information](https://www.lmu.de/sprachenzentrum/de/sprachkursangebot/semesterkurse/portugiesisch/) identifies European Portuguese at its Language Center and points students interested in Brazilian Portuguese to its Institute of Romance Philology. Books provide a way to explore several Portuguese-speaking cultures from Munich. [LUSOFONIA's 2026 programme](https://www.lusofonia-muenchen.de/programm/) listed a June reading at Bellevue di Monaco around *Heute bin ich ein Horizont / Hoje sou um horizonte*, a bilingual anthology of eleven Brazilian poets. It also listed a March event at Stadtbibliothek Neuhausen introducing *Der Pitangabaum der Nachbarin*, stories from Guinea-Bissau originally published as *Fora de Jogo*. These are different literary settings within the Portuguese-speaking world. As optional self-study, choose a short poem from the bilingual Brazilian anthology and compare its imagery in Portuguese and German, keeping a few words that interest you. The city's film culture offers another listening route. [LAFITA's festival description](https://www.filmstadt-muenchen.de/veranstaltungen/lateinamerikanische-filmtage/) places cinema from the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking Americas within its Munich programme and explains that films are shown in their original versions with subtitles. Its combination of fiction, documentary and discussion offers subjects beyond a textbook dialogue. For optional listening practice, look for a Portuguese-language selection and follow how one conversation is supported by the subtitles. Samba is also practised as a shared musical activity here. [Praias do Isar](https://praiasdoisar.de/) describes its inspiration in the samba schools of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo and lists weekly percussion and samba no pé sessions in Munich's Neuhausen-Nymphenburg district, including percussion for beginners. This gives samba a local setting as both ensemble music and dance, with different roles for drummers and dancers. Capoeira brings movement and music together in a different form. [Capoeira Coletiva's account of its practice](https://www.capoeira-coletiva.de/) describes playing together in the *roda*, the traditional circle, and learning the atabaque, pandeiro and berimbau as part of training. Its [local training information](https://www.capoeira-coletiva.de/training/) locates adult and youth activity in Bogenhausen and at the school on Schwanthalerstraße. The circle and instruments give those Portuguese terms a concrete cultural setting in Munich. Older Munich-Brazil connections deserve critical attention as well. The [2024 exhibition *Travelling Back*](https://www.lmu.de/en/newsroom/calendar-of-events/event/exhibition-travelling-back-4114176f.html), at Munich's Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte, reconsidered the collections assembled during Spix and Martius's 1817-1820 expedition to Brazil. These materials helped form Bavarian collections, including those of today's Museum Fünf Kontinente. The exhibition examined the colonial dimensions of that history and addressed Isabella Miranha and Johann Juri, two Indigenous children brought to Munich in 1820 who died soon afterwards. ## Lesson formats and levels Private lessons and adult groups support beginner, intermediate and advanced learners.
