La competencia estratégica y cultural en el aprendizaje de la entonación de (des)cortesía del español por parte de brasileños

Based on the review of the politeness and impoliteness intonation of Spanish and the prelingual intonation features of Spanish spoken by brazilians, we aim at offering some methodological examples in the teaching of the courteous intonation.

The purpose is to develop strategic and cultural competences in order to prevent linguistic and cultural diversity from being a source of misunderstanding and incomprehension between Spaniards and Brazilian Spanish speakers while cultivating personal relationships.
