Synopsis

Read this word out loud: fantástico. Congratulations — that was Portuguese, and you did not study for it.

English and Portuguese share thousands of words. The endings simply shifted: -tion became -ção, -ty became -dade, -ly became -mente, -able became -ável. Learn the rule once and you get hundreds of words in one go, instead of one word at a time from a flashcard.

Portuguese Shortcut is a conversion method, not another grammar book. It is built for Brazilian Portuguese, the Portuguese of São Paulo, Rio and 200 million speakers.

Inside this book:

  • Chapter-by-chapter conversion rules, from -ção to -mente
  • Word Vaults holding around 5,000 Brazilian Portuguese words you can already half-read
  • A pronunciation gym in every chapter, with the stressed syllable marked
  • Real sentences and translation drills after every rule
  • False-friend alerts, so pretender and puxar never catch you out
  • A topic vocabulary chapter: travel, food, work, family, numbers

Who it is for: complete beginners, travellers heading to Brazil, people with Brazilian family or colleagues, and returning learners who want vocabulary fast.

Put away the textbooks. Speak Brazilian Portuguese the smart way.
