European Portuguese Workbook

European Portuguese Workbook
I am currently studying European Portuguese. This book is exactly what I was looking for. It is written in both English and Portuguese, which is what I wanted. There are occasional noted Brazilian references, but the book is written for learning European Portuguese. Each section offers a lesson, vocabulary, examples, and written exercises. I am using the book as a partner to online learning. If you're looking for a good practice workbook, this is it.

I have searched high and low for an excellent European Portuguese primer workbook to no avail, until I found this one - excellent with a variety of great exercises that really help with language skills without being overwhelming. I am so very pleased, and ready for my next trip to Lisboa!

There are Brazilian Portuguese references, but this is not the focus of the text, which is what I was looking for, and was not mentioned in the description.

This work book is so well put together it has been a true god sent! I have been learning European Portuguese through 3 different apps and speaking with native speakers but nothing has clicked quite as well as this workbook. I would absolutely recommend any beginners or intermediate learners to purchase this book!

the book itself seems to be useful and organized, easy to follow. however, the audio, which is the most important for me, does not play or not updated...I am not sure. It does require flash, I downloaded, but nothing played. Unfortunately, returning the book.
