    Wow, thank you very much. I get my Brazilian from my favorite Bossa Nova songs, so I am only familiar with Brazilian Portuguese. Is there a major difference between the accents of Portugal and Brazil?

    The differences are big. It's similar to how different british english is from american english, but in the end the language is the same.

    the difference don't is big

    the singer that you choose for example(Chico Buarque), his accent is more similar to Portuguese

    but if you hear the different accents of Brazil(Northeast,Caipira,Gaucho,Mineiro,Baiano...) you can note an major difference

    also the Brazilian Portuguese have influence from some words of Indigenous,African,Italian,Arabic... but again, the difference don't is big
