Publisher's summary

Do you know what the hardest thing for a Portuguese learner is?

Finding proper reading material that they can handle…which is precisely the reason we’ve written this book!

Teachers love giving out tough, expert-level literature to their students, books that present many new problems to the reader and force them to search for words in a dictionary every five minutes - it’s not entertaining, useful or motivating for the student at all, and many soon give up on learning at all!

In this book we have compiled 20 easy, compelling, and fun stories that will allow you to expand your vocabulary and give you the tools to improve your grasp of the wonderful Portuguese tongue.

How Portuguese Short Stories for Beginners works:

• Each story is interesting and entertaining with realistic dialogues and day-to-day situations.
• The summaries follow a synopsis in Portuguese and in English of what you just read, both to review the lesson and for you to see if you understood what the tale was about.
• At the end of those summaries, you’ll be provided with a list of the most relevant vocabulary involved in the lesson, as well as slang and sayings that you may not have understood at first glance!
• Finally, you’ll be provided with a set of tricky questions in Portuguese, providing you with the chance to prove that you learned something in the story. Don’t worry if you don’t know the answer to any - we will provide them immediately after, but no cheating!

We want you to feel comfortable while learning the tongue; after all, no language should be a barrier for you to travel around the world and expand your social circles!

So look no further! Pick up your copy of Portuguese Short Stories for Beginners and start learning Portuguese right now!

This book has been written by a native Brazilian author and is recommended for A2+ level learners.

Five stars

Well-written, interesting short stories that significantly increased my portuguese vocabulary and improved my comprehension. Looking forward for more.

Challenging, but perfect for beginners.

You’re going to have trouble finding good learning material in Portuguese as a language learner. Thankfully, this book has been created to solve these types of issues. Recommended.

Intermediate Plus

Definitely not for beginners. I would suggest that intermediate level learners would appreciate the support much better. Also, female characters with female voices would help with comprehension.

Excellent book

This is a wonderful book for those who are new to learning Portuguese. Very helpful for beginners.

Fantastic source of learning in Portuguese!

I’ve been thinking of doing a tour of Brazil soon, so this book was a must have for me… I’m very happy with it. Will continue buying books from this brand, for sure!

Read it

This is a very good introduction to Portuguese, appropriate for all age levels, and a very necessary book if you want to start learning Portuguese successfully.

Excellent for Beginners.

I am learning Portuguese for my job. I started other books—spent hours...;—this book is faaaaaar superior. Listening to short stories is a great way to keep the reader's attention AND it helps us learn the rhythm/flow of speech. Also, the vocabulary lessons aid with learning the words as well as the correct pronunciation of the alphabet, which is key for conversation and listening. For example, te is pronounced ch (English)i; de > ge; rr > h; and so on.

Specific, and really helpful.

If you have tried to learn Brazilian portuguese the conventional way, had some difficulties and hope for a new way; this book is a breath of fresh air. It teaches standard Brazilian Portuguese vocabulary in a very interesting manner (stories). The stories are introduced in Portuguese (which might require some basic background to follow), and the meaning is given in English (to allow English learners get a good grasp of some misunderstood words). The quiz and vocabulary summary at the end of each section is a critical activity that helps the listener to really evaluate their progress. Overall, excellent curriculum, stories and narration.

I received this audiobook for free at my request. This is an unbiased review I have left in exchange, and with an aim of guiding prospective users of this book.

Great for Portuguese Students (an instructors perspective)

This audiobook is a great addition any student’s toolbox. It provides clear stories with comprehension questions, vocab, and perfect pronunciation.

I would recommend this book for any student/teacher at the end of 1st semester university/1st year high school and above. The stories introduce concepts that are found in day to day life, and audio itself allows students to read along with ease. The questions at the end of the chapter help to gauge comprehension, and the difficult vocabulary has been defines. Context clues help with the rest, as does the English summary.

All in all, I would recommend this to any teacher or student who is looking for good introductory stories in the language.

Very good book. Recommended.

I finished it in two days. Now I will listen again slowly to learn. Will continue buying books from this brand, for sure!
