Language and culture are part of the identity construction of individuals. When a child grows up in a different country of his parents, his identity will be more complex, since there’s an alive language and culture in his familiar environment, nevertheless, different from the majority language and culture of the country he lives. This paper addresses to recognize the strategies of 11 Brazilian relatives immigrated to Spain to transmit the Portuguese as a heritage language to their children who live in Spain. The results point to an awareness about their primordial role in the heritage language transmission. Moreover, they recognize the support of an institution in order to minimize the communication restriction contexts in this language.
