This review is from: Brazilian Portuguese-English Dictionary & Phrasebook (Hippocrene Dictionary & Phrasebooks) (Paperback)
Nicely divided for easy access to common words/phrases. Now possible to correspond fairly well with Brazilian acquaintance. Book is nice size for toting and reading. Good-sized font. Able to study without magnifying glass. Clear distinct print. rose

Great!,
This review is from: Brazilian Portuguese-English Dictionary & Phrasebook (Hippocrene Dictionary & Phrasebooks) (Paperback)
This book has a ton of great information. It has a pretty extensive dictionary, important phrases, key verb conjugations. It's really easy to use and explains everything clearly. I am teaching myself Brazilian portuguese and this book is an excellent supplement to other learning materials.

This review is from: Brazilian Portuguese-English Dictionary & Phrasebook (Hippocrene Dictionary & Phrasebooks) (Kindle Edition)
Although this book does offer useful information on Brazil and the language, it is a sad excuse for a dictionary. More like a vocabulary list than anything.
The worst aspect of this book is its description of Brazilian pronunciation; it bears absolutely no resemblance to the way Brazilians actually speak (no mention of the softening of the T and D in certain situations, like the final d in saudade, for example). Very misleading and not worth the money.
