De Alvelos Naar, Maria Emilia. Colloquial Portuguese

Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1972. — 192 p. — ISBN-10: 0710073704, ISBN-13: 978 0710073709.Colloquial Portuguese is divided into three main parts: (1) Grammar, (2) Dialogues and Reading Practice, and (3) Phrase Book. In the grammar section, only essential points are dealt with, each lesson being accompanied by an exercise. General revision exercises are included in Appendix I. The dialogues, in idiomatic Portuguese (often with alternative words in brackets), are simple and direct, and each concerns a particular situation or topic. The reading practice is designed to give students an outline of the Portuguese and Brazilian personality, and an insight into our ideas about English people. Business, money, and commodities are the chief subjects covered in the phrase book.
