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!
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. There are about 1600
of them within both languages, and you will be able to recognize them in a wink of an
eye!
The third unit brings The 100 Most Common Portuguese Verbs into the scene, with one
example for each case.
Following, the 100 Most Common Portuguese Words a short sample of the ebook 365
Common Portuguese Words. Grab your free copy at
www.learn-portuguese-now.com

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...

day. When you have a free time, check them out. You will get surprised with your

There are some 1600 similar words between Portuguese and English!
As you understand the basic principles of word formation in Portuguese, you can
immediately turn hundreds of English words to this romantic language.
I know that it may seem too simple for some, but I used this same principle to learn
English and Spanish and it worked wonderfully.
Why dont you give it a try? No miracle required.
