This Intermediate Brazilian Portuguese Language Course by Anthony Caldas offers a structured and engaging approach for learners looking to advance their conversational skills. It combines practical vocabulary, comprehension exercises, and short stories designed to enhance fluency in real-life contexts. The course covers essential everyday topics, including making plans, discussing health, dining out, navigating travel, and workplace interactions, helping learners build confidence in various situations.

Each section provides useful phrases, such as “Podemos nos encontrar em…” (“We can meet at…”) for planning or “Quanto custa isso?” (“How much does this cost?”) for shopping, reinforced through short, context-rich stories. For instance, in a story about an office challenge, learners follow a character through a day at work, applying relevant vocabulary in a realistic scenario. These narratives, paired with comprehension questions, strengthen listening skills and contextual understanding, which are crucial for advancing fluency.

This course suits intermediate learners who already have a basic foundation in Portuguese but seek to improve conversational ease and cultural nuance. It’s particularly beneficial for those aiming to travel, work, or interact with Portuguese speakers, as it emphasizes practical vocabulary for day-to-day interactions. Through structured lessons and relatable themes, learners will build a more robust vocabulary, master common expressions, and gain confidence to hold meaningful conversations in Portuguese.
