    About this ebook

    Learning Portuguese (Brazilian Portuguese and Portuguese) with parallel text is the most rewarding and effective method to learn a language. Existing vocabulary is refreshed, while new vocabulary is instantly put into practice.

    Recommended for beginners-, intermediate level learners of Portuguese and as a refreshers course. It is so easy and enjoyable even absolute beginners with no prior knowledge can start learning. Brazilian Portuguese and Portuguese words are marked with BPT and PT.

    While we feel anyone at any level can work with these stories, a basic understanding of Portuguese would be recommended to achieve the maximum learning effect and pleasure. Our entertaining stories contain European culture and characters. Our books are fun to read so you maintain concentration and learn from motivation.
