Portuguese Without Accent. Beginner's Course in Portuguese Language

The course "Portuguese Without Accent" is for those who are starting from "scratch" and continuing their language studies (level A1/A2). The book will be useful for tourists going on a foreign trip. The textbook consists of an introductory phonetic course focused on oral communication and a main course with the most common communicative situations: introductions, phone conversations, trips, hotel accommodation, dining, and shopping. The European variant of the Portuguese language, most commonly spoken in Portugal, is taken as the pronunciation and intonation norm. In the introductory course, the pronunciation of letters, words, and the stressed syllable is clarified using widely accepted transcription signs. The material includes cultural and linguistic comments that demonstrate the uniqueness of the Portuguese language of the inhabitants of Portugal, Brazil, and African countries. 

An audio supplement with texts, dialogues, and exercises read by native speakers of Portuguese will help you master correct pronunciation and practice listening skills. The audio supplement is purchased separately from the textbook.
