"Brazilian Portuguese for Smarties” is a perfect textbook for those who have already seen some Portuguese before and are interested in learning and practicing the language in a more laidback style. It contains over 90 activities (and over 2000 sentences, questions and examples), designed to make sure the student is aware of the new words and expressions, and is able to use and adapt them to new circumstances, even when the context changes.
The students can complete these exercises orally or write them down, so they can compare their answers to the Answer Key at the end of the book. I am confident the reader will learn more Portuguese and keep the language alive in a modern, convenient and easy-to-use way.
