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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

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 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.

Good job.

This audiobook is well-narrated, the accent is native, and the lessons are well-structured. For beginners, these are quite important for comfort and retention. It would be more helpful to consider an introduction to the portuguese vocabulary first, and then use this as an accelerated way of mastering context. Either way, it is a good resource for beginners.

Just excellent.

I loved the stories in this book, the narration, and the overall concept. While Brazilian Portuguese is not the easiest language to learn, this book certainly takes a good crack at it. Highly recommended.
