About the Book

Learn Brazilian Portuguese the Practical Way

DIA A DIA - Book 1 is a structured and effective grammar course designed to take students from beginner to intermediate level through clear, focused content.

This volume is divided into four short and progressive sections:

  • Book 1 - Present Tense (First Steps)

  • Book 2 - Present Tense (Foundation)

  • Book 3 - Present, Present Continuous, Immediate Future, Simple Future, and Imperative

  • Book 4 - Simple Past Tense

Carefully developed over 13 years of teaching experience, this book focuses on the most commonly used tenses in everyday Brazilian Portuguese, helping students build real communication skills.

With regular study and guidance from a teacher (1 hour per week), students can reach an intermediate level in approximately 4-6 months and begin to hold basic conversations using past, present, and future tenses.

What you will gain:

  • A solid foundation in Brazilian Portuguese grammar

  • The ability to form correct sentences naturally

  • Confidence to communicate in everyday situations

  • A clear progression from beginner to intermediate level

This book is also a valuable teaching resource, designed to support instructors in the classroom. Teachers can adapt and expand the material according to their students' needs, including the introduction of colloquial Brazilian Portuguese, such as:

  • "cê" instead of "você"

  • "tô" instead of "estou"

  • omission of "eu" and "nós"

  • pronunciation differences across regions like Rio and São Paulo

Part of the DIA A DIA series, this book includes the first four essential modules. The complete series consists of 15 short books covering additional tenses and the use of the subjunctive.

Note: This book does not include audio. Students studying independently are encouraged to use additional resources or have some familiarity with the sound of Brazilian Portuguese.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
