About this listen
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.

When face-to-face with a real Brazilian Portuguese speaker, do you freeze? Do you fear not knowing how to ask for directions in Portuguese or even worse, communicate if there’s an emergency? If your answer to any of these questions was "Yes", then keep listening! If there’s anything more challenging than learning the grammar rules of a new language, it’s knowing what to say while having the courage to speak with confidence. We know how you feel. "How do I get out of this situation?", you may ask yourself, but have yet to find a straight-forward answer. Until now.

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.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything!

Story
Most people think the way to write a best seller is to have a lot of talent and even more luck. As you will learn, there is a recipe for success, and luck may be the least important ingredient in creating a best seller. No one has cracked the code better than James Scott Bell. A best-selling author himself, and the author of the number-one best seller for writers, Plot & Structure, Mr. Bell has been teaching the principles of best-selling fiction for over 20 years, principles that apply to any genre or style.

In July 1995, San Jose Mercury-News reporter Gary Webb found the Big One - the blockbuster story every journalist secretly dreams about - without even looking for it. A simple phone call concerning an unexceptional pending drug trial turned into a massive conspiracy involving the Nicaraguan Contra rebels, L.A. and Bay Area crack cocaine dealers, and the Central Intelligence Agency.

Grammar! For many of us, the word triggers memories of finger-wagging schoolteachers, and of wrestling with the ambiguous and complicated rules of using formal language. But what is grammar? In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.

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.

Specific, and really helpful.
If you have tried to learn Brazilian portuguese the conventional way, had some difficulties and hope for a new way; this book is a breath of fresh air. It teaches standard Brazilian Portuguese vocabulary in a very interesting manner (stories). The stories are introduced in Portuguese (which might require some basic background to follow), and the meaning is given in English (to allow English learners get a good grasp of some misunderstood words). The quiz and vocabulary summary at the end of each section is a critical activity that helps the listener to really evaluate their progress. Overall, excellent curriculum, stories and narration.
I received this audiobook for free at my request. This is an unbiased review I have left in exchange, and with an aim of guiding prospective users of this book.

Great for Portuguese Students (an instructors perspective)
This audiobook is a great addition any student’s toolbox. It provides clear stories with comprehension questions, vocab, and perfect pronunciation.
I would recommend this book for any student/teacher at the end of 1st semester university/1st year high school and above. The stories introduce concepts that are found in day to day life, and audio itself allows students to read along with ease. The questions at the end of the chapter help to gauge comprehension, and the difficult vocabulary has been defines. Context clues help with the rest, as does the English summary.
All in all, I would recommend this to any teacher or student who is looking for good introductory stories in the language.
