Outcomes
  • Pronounce Portuguese clearly enough to be understood, including nasal and reduced vowels, using simple written respellings
  • Greet people and introduce yourself, choosing between tu, você and o senhor or a senhora
  • Use numbers, prices, times and dates, and book a table or a room
  • Choose correctly between ser and estar, and use ter and há, articles, gender and plurals
  • Use the present tense of regular and key irregular verbs, ask questions and say no
  • Order in a café and a restaurant, explain a food allergy or a diet, and shop at a market
  • Shop, ask the way, use trains, buses and taxis, and sort out problems where you stay
  • Cope at the pharmacy and the doctor, and call for help in an emergency
  • Talk about your family, your daily routine, what you did and what you're going to do
  • Recognise the main differences between the Portuguese of Portugal and of Brazil, and write a self-introduction and an account of a day out
Requirements
  • No Portuguese needed: the course starts from the very first word
  • A willingness to read words out loud, as there is no audio
  • A notebook and pen, or a text editor, for the practice files, plus a PDF reader and a spreadsheet app for the printable sheets and word lists
  • About 10 to 15 minutes for each lesson, plus time to practise
