As the fifth most spoken language in the world, Portuguese is often overlooked in the list of most spoken languages. It is well ahead of German, French, and Italian and just behind Arabic with 274 million speakers. After English and Spanish, it is the third most spoken language in the Americas and one of the top 10 in Africa.

For English or Spanish speakers, Portuguese will prove to be an easy language to learn. Pronunciation follows the way the words are written and most letters are pronounced the same as in English or Spanish. While there are a number of cognates (words which look and mean the same), you must be careful however, as some words take on entirely different meanings.

The English & Portuguese Phrasebook is designed to be used by the English speaker to learn the basics of the Portuguese language or for a Portuguese speaker to learn the basics of English.

If you are intending to learn any new language, you’ll need to get a phrasebook. The purpose of the phrasebook is to give you practice in real-life situations. Memorizing phrases ahead of time is the BEST way to use a phrasebook. Your grammar book, and sometimes even your course, does not give you the "Which room is mine?" kind of phrases. Yes, you will need to flip through the book to find responses or the next question on a different topic, but that is only if you do not practice a bit ahead of time. You can't beat this book - for the price and the small, yet concise and relevant content. Learn how to tell time, order food, go through customs, as well as greetings and social conversations.

Proper names may or may not be translated between languages. Generally country names are translated, but personal names, place names, and trade names (products) are not. Some words may provide an alternate translation or transliteration, others may not.

This phrasebook is derived from our Words R Us system, a derivative of WordNet. English Wordnet, originally created by Princeton University is a lexical database for the English language. It groups words in English into sets of synonyms called synsets, provides brief definitions and usage examples, and records a series of relationships between these sets of synonyms. WordNet can be viewed as both a combination dictionary and thesaurus.
