About this book

Is this a paperback or a digital download?

This is a paperback, printed on demand and shipped to you physically. There is no PDF, ePub or Kindle version. Because it is printed to order, each copy is made specifically for you rather than taken from a shelf.

Is it really suitable for beginners?

Yes. The stories use short sentences, the present tense and plenty of dialogue, and every chapter explains its 20 key words in English. If you know basic Portuguese from an app or a first course, you can read it.

How is this different from a normal Portuguese short story book?

It follows one real Brazilian Carnival in order, so you learn o Carnaval, a fantasia, o bloco and a marchinha the way a family lives them, with the vocabulary that belongs to each moment. The setting and the regional words are the point, not an invented plot.

Do I need to read the chapters in order?

It reads best in order, because the twenty chapters build one continuous arc and the vocabulary grows from chapter to chapter. You can dip into a single story on its own, but reading start to finish is how the book is meant to work.
