About this listen

Listening to short stories is an effective and fun way to learn Portuguese!

By adopting a storytelling approach, this book presents the listener with a semi-communicative language method, wherein they are encouraged to engage with the story thus reducing the chances of losing motivation, interest, or confidence.

With 15 simple yet challenging short stories, this book takes the listener on an adventurous journey throughout the world, in the company of a group of Portuguese conquerors who are thirsty to teach the language to whomever is eager to learn it. Every chapter brings a different context, while depicting real-life situations and providing new vocabulary. At the end of each story, a quiz tests the listener's overall understanding of the story.

By listening to the 15 short stories included in this book and completing the suggested activities after each chapter, you will:

  • Learn and remember hundreds of Portuguese words and phrases that you can use in real-life situations.
  • Familiarize yourself with many grammatical structures without having to memorize any rules or do boring grammar drills!
  • See language learning in a completely new way!

So don't hesitate. If you want to learn Portuguese the fun way, now is the time. Get this audiobook today!

Please note: The stories in this audiobook are in Portuguese.

It has a promise but no accompanying PDF material

I was buying this for my daughter who is learning Portuguese (from Portugal). Sadly it won't fit the bill any time soon.

The stories are OK and the speaker has a nice tone. Appropriate for the high intermediate and advanced listener given the words employed.
The stories speech speed is normal speed, which I envisage would be a barrier to many intermediate listeners.

It sorely misses an accompanying PDF with the audio content, and stories translated into English. If one doesn't know a word it could be difficult to look it up since you possibly won't know how its spelt. A PDF would bridge this gap.
It would certainly also help beginners and intermediate listeners following along the text as they hear the proper pronunciation. Whilst a translation would further help not having to refer to a dictionary every 5 minutes.

Ok effort, but lacking. Especially when compared to other short story offerings from other languages.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
