Good figures

There are not many Brasilian Portuguese text books on the market, and I think this book is above average. The figures and practice dialouge sections are good, although the exercises are a bit dull.

My favorite Portuguese text so far (as a teacher)

I have been teaching Portuguese as a private tutor for years and I was very glad to come across this book. I think it contains a great balance between communicative activities (like dialogs and questions for conversation) and some grammar instruction. The latter is done as simply as possible (i.e., they will rely on pictures and examples, rather then lengthy textual explanation to get their point across, whenever possible). I also found it very comprehensive, covering the more obvious major topics (different verb tenses etc.), but also smaller points, such as contractions (do, no etc.) and a lot of idiomatic expressions. It is also useful for a variety of levels: it really is useful for the very beginner to advanced intermediate levels. I think there is only one thing to beware: everything is written in Portuguese (no English whatsoever), so it may be difficult to use if you are teaching yourself. Better used if you either have a teacher/ tutor or if you are teaching yourself at an intermediate level.
