Publisher's Synopsis
This book was written to be your helpful guide to understanding the basic concepts of the Portuguese language, as well as Brazilian culture. Whatever may be the reason that is motivating you to learn a new language - a short vacation, business opportunities, friends and/or partner, or simply a hobby - learning about the culture of a country is also very important. Learning about it might help you to blend in, to understand and to be understood, and to avoid doing or saying something that might come across as offensive. When it comes to learning Brazilian Portuguese, it is the same principle. You are not only learning Portuguese, you are learning the variation of the language spoken in Brazil and the cultural aspects that might help you understand the language, the people and their habits more clearly.
