Learning Portuguese is a tough challenge, no doubt about it. The rich vocabulary and complex grammar can be discouraging when you are taking your first steps into the learning process. The goal of this book is to teach Portuguese in the most effective way possible.

This audiobook adopts a semi-communicative method: the storytelling approach. Telling stories is an effective educational tool because learners become engaged with the narrative and, therefore, remember the story and vocabulary associated with it, effortlessly, as well as making it easier to recognize sentence patterns.

However, what more can storytelling offer?

Well, it brings you closer to how the language is spoken on an informal, day-to-day basis, instead of trying to teach how to form a sentence from scratch.

When first starting out, and with no previous contact with the language, it is assumed that learners do not have much vocabulary, don’t know how the grammar and/or syntax works, and have no clue on how to pronounce the words, thus making it harder to emulate the teaching process of a language with which someone is familiar with, even if he or she doesn’t know how it works formally.

For instance, when you first started studying your native language in school, you had already heard its sounds by then. After all, you knew how to speak appropriately, long before you started studying it formally. Even if intuitively and with some mistakes in the middle, you knew how to build a sentence.

So, with that in mind, this audiobook aims, with this approach and in parallel to the experience of a first contact with your native language, to give you an intuitive feel on how to build sentences, aside from establishing the basic knowledge on grammar and wording, as well as teaching key vocabulary.

Great practice for intermediate Portuguese students

I first listened to the Audible version and only looked at the book afterwards. Excellent to have a native Continental narrator. Personally I liked learning the terms for things in nature such as the animals and chestnut tree, even though some of the stories were written with young learners in mind. The story about the family dealing with Facebook was helpful for picking up some tech words my family is likely to use when I visit Portugal. Very glad to have found this resource!
