Editorial Reviews

Review

Clearly written and featuring an abundance of exercises and readings. It is particularly well suited to students who are seeking a concise introductory text focusing on modern Brazilian Portuguese.
--Earl E. Fitz

An important stimulus to the growing interest in Luso-Brazilian studies and a contribution to the profession.
--Hispania

A valuable addition to the meager body of material now available to teachers of spoken Brazilian Portuguese.
--The Modern Language Journal

A true scholarly grammar of the particular variety of relaxed spoken Brazilian Portuguese which Professor Thomas has analyzed better than any living linguist.
--Charles L. Eastlack,

Every teacher of Portuguese should have a copy of Earl Thomas' book.
--John A. Hutchins,

5.0 out of 5 stars A complete and idiomatic Brazilian Portuguese grammar, April 20, 1998
By 
Hershael W. York (Louisville, Kentucky) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Grammar of Spoken Brazilian Portuguese (Paperback)
Thomas's grammar of spoken Brazilian Portuguese is, to my mind, the best grammar available for experienced language learners who want to tackle Brazilian portuguese. Not a grammar for the novice, this text will acquaint the learner with the differences and nuances between spoken and written Portuguese, and will survey the breadth of Brazilian vocabulary, usage, and language structure. I think this is the best. It's weakness is that no accompanying audio is available for those who do not yet know Brazilian pronunciation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the serious student, February 4, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: A Grammar of Spoken Brazilian Portuguese (Paperback)
I currently use this book for 3rd and 4th semester Portuguese at the university level. The book does an excellent job at explaining grammer and expanding vocabulary. However, I would not recommend this book if you are simply trying to get by in Brazil. If your goal is to become fluent, this is the book for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars How it's really spoken, May 1, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: A Grammar of Spoken Brazilian Portuguese (Paperback)
This is a very helpful book for anyone who works with Brazilians or is dating a Brazilian. This is Brazilian Portuguese as it is spoken, not the formal classroom stuff. In combination with a decent vocabulary cassette, for example, Vocabulearn's English/Portuguese, you will get a good start.
