Oi! Bring the warmth of Brazil home - your child's first Brazilian Portuguese words, said out loud tonight.My Very First Little Brazilian Portuguese Book(TM) is a gentle, beautifully illustrated first reader that lets parents and children learn Brazilian Portuguese together - even if you've never spoken a word of it. Under every line, the Pierce Pronunciation System(TM) re-spells each word the way it actually sounds. No phonetic symbols. No guesswork. If you can read this sentence, you can read Brazilian Portuguese aloud tonight.Every single line of the book appears four ways - the Brazilian Portuguese text, a friendly say-it line for English speakers, the English translation, and a say-it line for Brazilian Portuguese - so the book teaches in both directions.How it works: Eu vejo a lua. eh-oo VEH-zhoo ah LOO-ah. I see the moon.This is true modern Brazilian Portuguese - vovó, você, Chapeuzinho Vermelho - with the sounds that make Brazil unmistakable (dia sounds like JEE-ah, noite like NOY-chee) and a dedicated Nasal Sounds page that turns ão, ã, and -im into something any English speaker can hum.Inside this book: - 25 short, warmly illustrated lessons - grandma's stories, the farm, breakfast, the moon, bedtime- The Pierce Pronunciation System(TM) - a two-way design: English speakers learn Brazilian Portuguese, and Brazilian children can learn English from the very same pages- A friendly Brazilian Portuguese Sound Key that teaches the language's special sounds in minutes- A Bridge of Words - a map page celebrating the shared history between our two languages- Say It Out Loud! - an expressive read-aloud page (whisper it, boom it, sing it!)- How Many Can You Say? - a gentle graded quiz where your child discovers their own level, from Little Sprout to Little Linguist- A soothing bilingual bedtime close: Good night.
