Heritage language is a linguistic and cultural legacy brought by the emigrants to another country. Brazilian emigration consolidated in the 1980’s. For this reason, Portuguese as a Heritage Language (PLH) is a recent phenomenon. This paper presents an overview of the PLH movement in the world and the work of the Associação de Pais de Brasileirinhos na Catalunha (APBC). Founded in 2009, it aims to transmit the Brazilian language and culture through Portuguese classes and social activities in Barcelona, Spain.
