Beginner's Portuguese - Sue Tyson-Ward

The book is divided into two main parts. Units 1-10 introduce you to the basic structures and grammatical points you'll need in everyday situations. Units 11-19 give you the opportunity to put into practice and consolidate the language you have learnt in the first ten units. They deal with everyday situations such as shopping, eating and travelling. There is a special section on pronunciation at the beginning of the book to get you started and a checklist at the end of the first ten units so that you can check your progress and review any areas of difficulty. New language is introduced through short dialogues and texts which are also on the accompanying recording and there are plenty of exercises to practise each new point as it is introduced. This new edition has been completely updated and the accompanying recording on 2 CDs includes a simplified pronunciation guide. By the end of the course you'll be able to communicate in a wide range of real-life situations and have all the practical information you need to enjoy your next trip to Portugal.
