a marvelous dictionary for everyone

''The Oxford Color Portuguese Dictionary'' is what you've been waiting for. A modern pocket dictionary of Brazilian Portuguese.Unlike many other dictionaries of this language that focus on Rio de Janeiro Portuguese, this one has less regionally-marked features. The pronunciation in brackets is that of city of São Paulo. This pronunciation is very close to neutral Brazilian pronunciation used by trained speakers on Brazilian radio Radiobrás (Brazilian version of BBC radio). Throughout the dictionary, IPA symbols have been used.Diphthongs reduction (a very common phenomenon present in modern Brazilian Portuguese) has been indicated (['keSa] for ''queixa'', [brazi'leru] for ''brasileiro, ['poku] for ''pouco'').Vocabulary is very vast and has many idioms and even slang expressions. Continental Portuguese variants have been included, as well as a verb list.A must buy.
