About this listen
If you want to learn the Portuguese language without any previous knowledge, then pay attention
Are you:
- Quite busy and in need of a precise, but thorough, resource to learn Portuguese?
- Traveling to or working in a Portuguese-speaking country?
Or do you:
- Want to connect with people, while keeping your personality when speaking Portuguese, instead of just learning how to “tourist-talk”?
- Want to learn phrases that you can use to navigate social situations and help you make friends and new connections?
If your answer to these questions is “yes,” then this audiobook is here to help.
Learning a new language is such an amazing tool that allows people from different parts of the world to connect more easily.
That leads, more importantly, to deeper and more meaningful connections as well.
In the case of the Portuguese language, several countries have it as the official language, making it the sixth most spoken idiom on Earth, with 170 million speakers worldwide.
This means that learning it grants you the possibility of making friends or finding job opportunities in the most obscure places you can imagine.
This audiobook is divided into three parts:
- The Very Basics
- Grammar
- Conversation
You’ll also find many fun quizzes throughout the audiobook that will allow you to practice your skills.
So, what are you waiting for? Buy this audiobook now, and start learning Portuguese today!

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!

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.

Jessica really wanted to learn Spanish but thought she just couldn’t find the time to do so. She tried everything from one on one lessons before work to attending local Mexican parties in hopes of finding Spanish-speaking friends. Nothing seemed like it was going to work and if it did, it was going to take too much time. With no positive results coming from any of these attempts, Jessica began to believe that learning a new language was going to be an impossible task.

With dazzling wit and astonishing insight, Bill Bryson - the acclaimed author of The Lost Continent - brilliantly explores the remarkable history, eccentricities, resilience, and sheer fun of the English language. From the first descent of the larynx into the throat (why you can talk but your dog can't) to the fine lost art of swearing, Bryson tells the fascinating, often uproarious story of an inadequate, second-rate tongue of peasants that developed into one of the world's largest growth industries.

Words on the Move opens our eyes to the surprising backstories to the words and expressions we use every day. Did you know that silly once meant "blessed"? Or that ought was the original past tense of owe? Or that the suffix -ly in adverbs is actually a remnant of the word like? And have you ever wondered why some people from New Orleans sound as if they come from Brooklyn?

With dazzling wit and astonishing insight, Bill Bryson - the acclaimed author of The Lost Continent - brilliantly explores the remarkable history, eccentricities, resilience, and sheer fun of the English language. From the first descent of the larynx into the throat (why you can talk but your dog can't) to the fine lost art of swearing, Bryson tells the fascinating, often uproarious story of an inadequate, second-rate tongue of peasants that developed into one of the world's largest growth industries.

In this unique new history of the world's most ubiquitous language, linguistics expert David Crystal draws on words that best illustrate the huge variety of sources, influences, and events that have helped to shape our vernacular since the first definitively English word was written down in the fifth century ("roe", in case you are wondering). Featuring Latinate and Celtic words, weasel words and nonce-words, ancient words ("loaf") to cutting edge ("twittersphere") and spanning the indispensable words that shape our tongue ("and", "what") to the more fanciful ("fopdoodle"), Crystal takes us along the winding byways of language.

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! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

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.

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!

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.

In my opinion not for beginners
For a beginner, I found this to be complicated and difficult to discern. In defense of the audible, it is probably more to do with my abilities! SORRY, this review was for a different job in Portuguese.

Invaluable reference!
We should listen to the Portuguese language as a part of our travel plan to Portuguese so that we can enjoy the summit when travel. This audible is very useful for self-learners to master the Portuguese language within a short period. The work starts with the basic things every speaker should know to get about in a Portuguese-speaking country.

I need to learn Brazilian Portuguese quickly
Not considerably as helpful for a mannequin as I expected. I need to learn Brazilian Portuguese quickly and I'm not at all sure this is the right choice. Filled with entertaining anecdotal info that does not help me learn the language.

Finally a good português language guide
This audible was perfect and just what I needed. Portuguese is one of the hardest languages to learn. When you buy self-help it’s challenging because usually there are no explanations or divisions to help you understand, with this work everything will make sense!

You're Not Going to Learn Portuguese
I knew the subject was misleading even before I bought it, but thought with my knowledge of Spanish, it would be a good reference. Then I fell upon so many typographical errors in English, it made me gape if there were any in Portuguese. How would one know? Otherwise, it resembles to be good work.

A solid introduction.
enough practice for a person to learn a language, but Portuguese for Dummies makes a magnificent effort. The explanations are clear and concise, and unlike some introductory audible, it provides phonetic logography for every new word introduced. It's well-organized, and the appendix and glossary make it easy to use as a reference.

Don't Waste Your Money!
Not only do I speak fluent Portuguese, but I am also an editor, so the number of grammatical and spelling mistakes, as well as an unnatural measure of typos, make it very distracting.
