In this study, we focused on the perception of Bolivian immigrants about how they acquired the Portuguese language in a situation of immersion due to labor issues in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Many claim that the limited supply of Portuguese as a Foreign Language teaching programs leads them to acquire Portuguese on a daily basis in direct contact with other Portuguese speakers, as a result of the needs of using this language in their daily lives. The data presented here are part of a larger research developed according to the principles of ethnography, which aim to understand how the Portuguese language, in this case not maternal, became part of the everyday life of each of the immigrants focused here.Downloads
