Portuguese Phrases For Dummies

My initial impression as I skimmed this book was not that great but as I began to read closer I found it to be an excellent source for understanding and learning Portuguese. I have been using it in combination with Duolingo and am finding it to be very helpful. So glad I have it!

This is a better option for those of you taking a look at Brazilian Portguese for Dummies. Do not take this as a supplement - it covers essentially the same material in a more concise format. Brazilian Portuguese for Dummies essentially takes this phrasebook and stretches it over approximately 300 pages, adding little extra.Keep in mind that this is in no way a good tool for learning the ins and outs of Portuguese, it is simply a phrasebook, probably best suited to someone spending a week in Brazil on vacation. It didn't suit my purposes, but for what is it meant to do it is solid enough, and the price really can't be beat.

I'm trying to learn another language and pick this book because it seemed like a good place to start. My favorite part about this book was that everything in portuguese was spelled out phonetically as to help out with Pronunciation. Now I am the master of this language and all that encompasses it. Okay, that last part was an exaggeration. This book does give you a good idea of the language itself but shouldn't be the only source if you are really wanting to be fluent in the language. If you are taking a trip and just need to get by, then this is for you

this is really good as like a guide to learning Portuguese, but definitely wouldn't rely on just this. its great to keep on you for a quick read or for help.

I found this book very useful for any common situation while visiting Brazil. My only complain is about the pronunciation for letter "r" in the middle of a word. It describes the sound as "dh" (it's not even close to that sound, but maybe for an American ear sounds that way).It is a very easy and fun book to read.

I have not finishe d reading it, but so far I like the detailed info I am getting. It does its best to simplify Brazilian Portuguese.It sounds the word out ina easy to read way for example. Onde=Where Sounds like ON-JEE. In Portuguese De sound Like the english letter "G"Well i hope to learn more as I continue to read it. It is a good investment but I wouldn't relie just on this book. Use it with other tools.

perfect introduction tothe language.

This book had too much information for what I needed. I only wanted to learn some phrases and words in Portuguese. Not the whole language.

I want to learn European Portuguese this is mainly aimed at Brazilian Portuguese

… the book is based on Brazilian Portuguese and therefore no good for European Portuguese (which I wanted it for). This should be made clear in the explanation

The book should clearly show on the cover that it is Brazilian Portuguese and not Portuguese spoken in Portugal.

Brazilian Portuguese, not clear, it even comes up first, in a search for European Portguese...
