Basic Portuguese (Practice Makes Perfect) PDF
Practice Makes Perfect: Basic Portuguese serves as a practical workbook, reference, and review guide to the fundamentals of basic Portuguese.
It covers a broad range of grammatical topics—all at a beginner’s level—and provides a strong introduction to verbs in the present tense. Grammar topics are primarily presented in table form, accompanied by a list of general usage points and extensive illustrative examples.
One of the book’s key strengths is that learners can see each grammar point contextualized in a sentence before attempting the exercises themselves. Moreover, learners are introduced to more than 1,000 vocabulary items and expressions, presented thematically throughout the book and reinforced through exercises from one chapter to the next.
This book is perfect for all beginners, from high school to college, as well as independent learners. It works well as a supplementary text alongside other coursebooks and is valuable for teachers looking to provide students with additional review and practice related to classroom grammar topics. The book can be followed in sequence or used selectively as needed.
While the primary focus is on the language used in continental Portugal, differences in Brazilian grammar and vocabulary are highlighted throughout, with opportunities to apply them in exercises. Spellings conform to the Portuguese Spelling Reform of 1990, which is now widely accepted across Lusophone (Portuguese-speaking) countries.
Each chapter follows this structure:
♦ Presentation of the grammar point in table and note form
♦ List of common, basic uses
♦ Example sentences demonstrating each usage
♦ Exercises focusing on the chapter’s grammar topic (with at least one activity incorporating vocabulary from previous chapters)
♦ Themed vocabulary box introducing up to 20 new words per chapter
♦ Additional exercises using new vocabulary, including translation activities
♦ Answer key
♦ An English-Portuguese glossary
Portuguese is an important global language, consistently ranked as the fifth or sixth most spoken language worldwide. It is also a wonderfully vibrant, melodic, and colorful language, spoken across Europe, Latin America, Africa, and the East. Enjoy your studies, and once you’ve mastered the basics, continue your learning journey—both you and Portuguese deserve it!
