Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I think that the most important facet to keep in mind when considering this book is that it is clearly designed for Brazilian Portuguese speakers to learn English and not so much the other way around. As you can see from "Looking Inside" the book there are great pictures with the translations included, and as another reviewer pointed out, the book will give you the names for many objects which you might not get in another dictionary. HOWEVER, the pronunciation guides are for the English words and there is no pronunciation guide for the Portuguese words! This made it impossible for me, as a relatively new Brazilian Portuguese speaker, to figure out how to pronounce many of the Portuguese words. Furthermore, all of the learning activities, including stories to translate, are in English. Ie., "Practice spelling the days of the week. Monday: M-O-N-D-A-Y" It seems like other native English speakers found this book helpful but I just found it maddening.
