This is a complete course in understanding, speaking and writing Portuguese. If you have never learnt Portuguese before, or if your Portuguese needs brushing up, 'Teach Yourself Portuguese' is for you.
Dr Manuela Cook has created a practical course that is both fun and easy to work through. She explains everything clearly along the way and gives you plenty of opportunities to practise what you have learnt. The course structure means that you can work at your own pace, arranging your learning to suit your needs.
Based on the Council of Europe's Threshold guidelines on language learning, the course contains:
- graded units of dialogues, culture notes, grammar and exercises
- a pronunciation guide
- the 1500 words most frequently used in Portuguese
- a Portuguese-English vocabulary
- tables of regular and irregular verbs
- indexes to the grammar, problem words and themes
- special reference to Brazilian Portuguese forms
The CDs have been specially recorded to accompany the book by native Portuguese speakers. They contain a pronunciation guide; dialogues from the book and key words.
By the end of the course you'll be able to take a fully active part in the everyday life and culture of modern Portugal and Brazil. Have fun!
