First Portuguese Reader for Beginners: Bilingual for Speakers of English (Graded Portuguese Readers Livro 1)

The book consists of Beginner and Elementary courses with parallel Portuguese-English texts. The author maintains learners’ motivation with funny stories about real life situations such as meeting people, studying, job searches, working etc. The method utilizes the natural human ability to remember words used in texts repeatedly and systematically. Each sentence was composed only with words explained in previous chapters. The second and the following chapters of the Beginner course have only about thirty new words each. As you read this bilingual reader, your brain begins to remember words and phrases simply because you are exposed to them several times. You do not even realize, until you must recall what you’ve learned, that you have already learned the new words and phrases. Remember – twenty minutes a day does the magic!
