Speak Portuguese Now, Level 3

Brazilian Portuguese: Talk About Anything, in Any Tense - The No-Grammar Method

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

You can talk about yesterday. Now talk about everything else.

Level 2 got you through both past tenses. But a real conversation is not only about what happened - it is about what will happen, what would happen, what you hope happens, and what you would do if things were different.

Speak Portuguese Now, Level 3 covers all of it and never prints the word "subjunctive." Same method as Levels 1 and 2: whole phrases, correct exactly as printed, no conjugation tables anywhere.

And it contains the best news in the whole series. Portuguese kept a tense that Spanish lost - the one used after quando, se and assim que pointing forward. For every regular verb, it is identical to the dictionary form you already know. Quando eu chegar. Assim que eu terminar. Se eu precisar. You have had this form since Level 1, and this is the lesson where you find out you have been holding it all along.

Inside, you'll find:

- 15 lessons across 5 parts - from your first future sentence to telling a long story out loud- The everyday Brazilian future - vou plus any verb - and the honest truth about the one-word future: in Brazil it is for reading, not speaking- Será que... - how Brazilians actually wonder out loud, and the most useful phrase in Part 1- The would-form, and its spoken twin: Brazilians say eu queria and eu ia where the grammar books want gostaria and iria. This book teaches both and tells you which is which- The flip, without the word: quero que, espero que, tomara que, antes que - each with an honest escape hatch- What if: se eu tivesse tempo, eu iria - and why se eu puder and se eu pudesse are two completely different sentences- The formal register - o senhor, the phone, and complaints that get fixed, including o SAC and the one word that ends an argument with a Brazilian company- The expressions that are genuinely used: valeu, falou, tranquilo, dar um jeito, bora- Understanding fast speech - cê, tô, pro, num, vamo, brigado: the six places Brazilian Portuguese melts words together- A Cover & Test page in every lesson, a full Answer Key, a Portuguese-English mini phrasebook, and a 30-Day Practice Plan

Coming from Spanish? This is the book where Portuguese stops being "Spanish with a different accent." Lesson 5 alone is worth the price if you have been saying quando eu chego for years.

Do you need Levels 1 and 2 first? Not necessarily. If you can tell a simple story in the past tense in Portuguese, you can start here.

Speak Portuguese Now, Level 3 is part of The Verbolino Method - the same approach as Speak Portuguese Now Levels 1 and 2, Speak Spanish Now, Speak French Now, Speak Italian Now and Speak German Now.
