Texts and dialogues in the Brazilian Portuguese Intermediate Course

Native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese recorded all the words and dialogue texts in a studio.
 
So you hear clear, natural pronunciation with the right stress from the start.
You can read, listen to, repeat aloud and print out every text.
 
Linguists wrote the texts and stories together with translators and native speakers from Brazil.

The dialogue texts cover these topics:

The Brazilian Portuguese Intermediate Course is built around situations you meet in everyday life.
In the dialogues, you follow realistic stories and learn the language you need in them.
 
You follow the two main characters through the ups and downs of daily life.
The course has 42 stories, for example:
You join the two main characters as they look for a new flat.
They book a viewing through an estate agent.
But choosing the better flat is harder than it looks...
In the end, they take a lovely flat in a good location.
But then new problems come up:
To pay the rent for the shared flat, they need to open a joint bank account.
Which details go where on the form?
Everyone wants a new flat to look nice:
"But what goes where? And shouldn't we redo the kitchen a little?"
New furniture and kitchen appliances often come with assembly and operating instructions.
If you can read and understand them, everyday tasks get much easier.
The new TV has finally arrived.
The man of the house opens the box impatiently. He wants to watch the football match as soon as the TV is plugged in.
But then he notices: the remote control is missing.
Who wants to get up every time to change the channel?
There's only one thing to do: write a complaint email to the manufacturer...
After a tiring move to the new flat, you deserve some free time:
Cooking for friends can be very relaxing.
An afternoon at the football stadium, on the other hand, can bring plenty of excitement.
A short weekend road trip for just the two of you makes a nice change:
Where should you go?
The mountains would be lovely.
And we know a cosy little hut there...
You can go on great bike tours there.
Then an accident nearly ruins everything...
Relationships don't always run smoothly.
Arguments and lovesickness happen in the best of families.
But if you can forgive each other, things can work out in the end...
"Will you marry me?"
A wedding brings the whole family together.
Is your sister coming with or without her husband?
Who is your brother bringing?
Is your niece coming too?
Who can pick Grandpa up by car?
There are still a thousand things to sort out.
And it turns into a celebration to remember.
Then big changes are coming again:
Your job isn't fun any more.
So it's time for a change:
You read job ads and apply.
But will you get your dream job...?
Some stories in the Intermediate Course are sad, some are funny, and some are exciting.
Most of them contain everyday conversations, so you practise speaking in the first person.
You also practise describing events: You listen to radio news and read newspaper articles.
 
The 42 dialogue texts show you how the language is used in everyday life.
