My Portuguese Phrasebook: An Essential Companion on Your Trip


Welcome! Thanks for downloading My Portuguese Phrasebook. It was firstly conceived as an appendix to another ebook: My Journey on Language Learning. B-U-T... The number of visitors at www.learn-portuguese-now.com showed me that the Portuguese Phrases page was the 2nd one most visited on the whole Web site! So, why not going straight to the point and provide these visitors with exactly what they are looking for? Here they are, in 5 main categories. Have fun! The Most Common Portuguese Phrases Cognates: Language Learning at First Sight The 100 Most Common Portuguese Verbs The 100 Most Common Portuguese Words 100 Portuguese Flash Cards: The Memory Back Up

On the first unit you will learn how to book a room, get a taxi, order a meal and make yourself understood in 15 other occasions. On the next, there are 20 classes of Cognates English and Portuguese words that have the same origin or that are related and similar in some way.

My Portuguese Phrasebook

Finally, 100 Portuguese Flash Cards will help you contextualize the verbs from Unit 3. Each verb comes with two related words for its quick use, as well as a number from 1 to 100. Print them out, cut them and keep them always at hand. (The bathroom is my favorite classroom! ) You will realize that learning Portuguese is not rocket science! These can make it easier and faster for you to learn the Portuguese language. They represent more than 50% of the vocabulary used in every-day speech. I sincerely hope your language journey may be much easier than mine was. Now its your turn: Grab your favorite beverage and a highlighter (if youve already printed your copy!), throw yourself on the sofa... and join me in this learning adventure! Unless your house gets on fire or the landlord requests it back, read this Ebook in full. Later, choose any unit you want, take a deep breath and dive in. As you know, every meaningful thing in life has a price and its own value. When I started studying English, I faced several challenges (except a fire or an impatient landlord!) However, true friends enabled me to push forward with my studying plans. Thats why I must care about your progress. Someone has done it for me first. Let me emphasize that I am not the author of the words, sentences or techniques here presented. I am just a daily user. So, if anyone blames me that Ive used other peoples ideas, never mind...

...I surely did.

The next thing to saying a good thing yourself, is to quote one.

Unit 03 The 100 Most Common Portuguese Verbs


Verbs Are the Base of Communication. If You Master Them, You Can Master Any Language
Verbs are the backbone of any language. They describe actions, conditions or experiences. By using them, you can always make your point. I found this true when I took a Sign Language Course1. All I needed to do was learn the main verb of any phrase, put it in the past or in the future with only one more gesture and... Bingo! What I wanted to get across became clear. Here you will find the 100 Most Common Portuguese Verbs, divided into groups of 10. Each verb comes with its respective translation and an example phrase. The irregular ones are italicized. Follow these tips to make the most out of your time: Print the 10 groups cut out each of them and keep them in your pocket during the day. Whenever you have free time, check over your cards. You will be surprised with how much you will learn, as you turn spare moments into productive time. Translate the phrases into English. You can send me the translated phrases by email and I can help you improve: charllesnunes@gmail.com Rewrite the phrases, replacing one word at a time in each phrase replacing verb by verb, noun by noun, and so on. English arrive arrived ask asked be was / were begin began break broke bring brought buy bought call called can could choose chose Portuguese chegar pedir, perguntar ser, estar comear, iniciar quebrar trazer comprar chamar, telefonar poder escolher Example que horas voc chega em casa? Why dont you ask your father? I want to be your friend. When did it all begin? Dont break my heart. Can you please bring me a glass? Where did you buy your car? Call me later, please. Can I help you? Choose the right.

Unit 04 The 100 Most Common Portuguese Words


In the past, words used to be worthier than documents. Nowadays, they are only words, nothing else...
Words. By and through them, huge empires were build or destroyed. They represent a powerful link between ideas and actions. Their potential is such that in the Creation report we read: And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.2 Nowadays, His Words keep inspiring the mankind. And changes are still made, be it in the physical, emotional or spiritual field. If a word said at the proper time may create worlds, save lives, celebrate weddings, or absolve someone from a punishment, why not learn the most common of them in Portuguese? The ones here included represent more than 50% of any conversation and, adding the Cognates and the Common Portuguese Phrases, quite soon you will manage the basic vocabulary to communicate efficiently. Let me repeat the tips from the Unit 01: Print the 10 groups cut out each of them and keep them in your pocket during the day. When you have a free time, check them out.

Unit 05 Flash Cards: The Memory Back Up


With These Flash Cards, You Will Find Enough Time to Study Portuguese Even Trolls and Snowmen Can Do It!
Flash Cards. Simple cards with a word or picture on them. They are very useful in memorizing and learning foreign languages. Here you will find 100 examples of Flash Cards with verbs and numbers in Portuguese. Most of the verbs are in the infinitive form (the ones ending in R). For space constraints, Ive included some in the present simple tense. Have fun with your friends, family or students. Consider the following tips: 1. Print the 100 cards and cut them out. 2. Give some cards to each player, and make a pile with the remaining ones, similar to a card game. 3. Each player must pronounce (or spell) the verb, ask a question or make a math exercise whose result should be the number shown in the card. 4. The next player answers the question asked for the former one, and set his/her own card. The player who doesnt know how to ask/answer a question, gets one more card. 5. At the end of the turn, the player who set the card with the greatest number get all of them and keep them for the final counting. 6. When someone runs out of cards, the game is over. 7. The winner is the one who scored more points. Obviously, the rules can be changed at the players wish especially if these instructions seem too confusing! Only two rules should never be ignored: 1. Growing comes through activity. There is no growing physical or mental without effort, and effort requires work. Calvin Coolidge 2. Remember that Play hard! always begins with Play.

Common Words A Matter of Perspective


When I started working as an English teacher, this experience showed me what makes a word common: On a sunny afternoon, a passerby dropped in for some water. The secretary told him to help himself, and got back to work. (I could hear everything from the classroom...) As the man got closer to the water fountain, he tried to get along by asking out loud: Does this school belong to Walter? That very common word water written on the gallons cover, was not so simple for him! The secretary answered him politely, as usual, but I knew she was laughing up a storm! As the visitor left, the whole classroom exploded in laughter! (OK, I shouldnt have... But who could resist?) Fortunately, later on that same day I tried to put myself in that visitors shoes by recalling the first English book that I tried to read on my own. I used to skim each page, wondering what those words could mean. All of a sudden, the words begin and again popped up in my eyes. For the first time, I noticed that some words appeared more often than others did. That was an insight moment for me. By noticing that, I realized that the so-called common words only become common to you when you recognize them at first sight and understand their meaning in several contexts. Want to learn them in a wink of an eye? Grab your free copy of 365 Most Common Words in Portuguese at www.learn-portuguese-now.com, print them out, cut them into flashcards and keep them with you wherever you go. (The bathroom is my favorite classroom!) You will soon notice that learning Portuguese is not rocket science... (And if you happen to meet any Walter on your way, please tell him that youve heard about a language course which is on sale, with his name almost inscribed on the water fountain!)

My Portuguese Phrasebook

As a Portuguese Teacher, Ive Never Faced Trouble Fixing Airplanes


Of course, theyve never come into the classroom! Grammar and Pronunciation in any language (including mine) reminds me of my trouble with airplanes. It is impossible to have any doubts about something that you never think about! Thats why I boldly defend that you shouldnt worry about verb conjugation in Portuguese. Just make do with the 3 basic tenses present, past and future and the singular pronouns I, you, he/she/it and everything is going to fall into place at the proper time. Lets have a look at an example with the verb falar to speak. Heres the all-correctand-frightening table: Present 1. Eu 2. Tu 3. Ele 4. Ns 5. Vs 6. Eles The Good News... Having been helping beginners for a couple of years, I can promise you that language learning doesnt have to be all that hard. In the daily speech/writing, normal human beings usually abide by these rules: The second person of plural (vs/you) is not used. The second person of singular (tu/you) is usually replaced by voc, and agrees with the third person: voc fala, ele fala. The Future is not made according to the above grammar rule. Instead, we just say Eu vou, voc vai, ele vai, ns vamos, eles vo + the infinitive of any verb: Eu vou falar. / I will speak. Voc vai comer. / You will eat. Ele vai sair. / He will leave.

... And heres ALL you need to start: Present 1. Eu 2. Voc 3. Ele falo fala fala Past falei falou falou Future vou falar vai falar vai falar Portugus. Portugus. Portugus.

A little bit more lifting and encouraging, right? Indeed, there are two more conjugations verbs ending in er and ir they are as simple as the first one. You will be introduced to them in a while. If I were you, I would celebrate this moment by going to the window and shouting... My language problems is over!

My Portuguese Phrasebook

Language Learning is NOT a Miracle!


So... What is a miracle? According to the dictionary, it is an unusual event caused by mysterious forces in a surprising and unexpected way. But out of those learned pages, things get a bit more confusing: Some say it is an inexplicable event, according to the laws of Nature. Others say it is an operating force contrary to Nature... Saint Augustine once stated, "Miracles are not contrary to Nature. Only to what we know about Nature." And I must agree with him. When talking about second language learning, I have been faced with hundreds of misconceptions denying how you can learn it in a practical, achievable and enjoyable way. Not that I know all the facts about the matter (and thats for sure!), but I have reason enough to believe that foreign languages can be learned by ANYONE (including YOU) since you: Believe in your own capacity to learn Get the right tools Follow the right process

Let's make it clear. Have a look at the following Portuguese words: capital plural tropical dicionrio programa celebrar invisvel autorizao qualidade acadmico diariamente general legal aniversrio glossrio sistema calcular possvel nao sensibilidade bsico emocionalmente original visual contrrio milionrio problema iluminar responsvel ateno universidade pacfico literalmente
