A NEWPRACTICAL AND EASY METHOD OF LEARNING THE PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE.
PREFACE.
INDEX.
FIRST COURSE.
SECOND COURSE.
This guide introduces Portuguese the way children absorb their native tongue, turning study into a series of simple, repeated exercises. The first section walks listeners through the alphabet and the subtle accent marks, offering clear pronunciation tips that let you hear each vowel and consonant correctly. From basic nouns and articles to gender rules, the lessons build a solid grammatical foundation without overwhelming jargon.
Beyond the essentials, the method expands into everyday dialogues, common verbs and useful adverbs, letting you practice speaking as soon as you master the sounds. Interactive examples demonstrate how to form plurals, compare adjectives, and use pronouns in realistic contexts. By the end of the first course you’ll be able to introduce yourself, ask simple questions, and understand basic sentences, making the transition to fluent conversation feel natural.
