How to say "além de" in English? Hello, I want to know how to translate "além de" from Portuguese to English in a specific sentence. I'll give you an example of the construction: "O consumo de doces em excesso, além de levar ao ganho de peso, também pode causar doenças como o diabetes." or "Aprender a dançar, além de ser divertido, resulta em inúmeros benefícios à saúde" Can someone teach me how sentences like these ones are wroten in English?

In those cases, you could translate 'além de' with the phrase 'as well as'.

Using Google Translate (https://translate.google.com/?hl=en&tab=oT#auto/en/al%C3%A9m%20de), these are my best guesses: "alem de" is "besides" or "also" in English. 1. The excess consumption of sweets can lead to weight gain and may ALSO cause diseases such as diabetes. 2. BESIDES being fun, learning to dance can result in numerous health benefits.
