What distinguishes Brazil from Portugal is the Portuguese language. The two language variants have diverged more from each other than English and American English, which leaves plenty of room for misunderstandings. This language guide provides an insight into Brazilian Portuguese and enables quick initial attempts at communication thanks to travel-oriented example sentences. Kauderwelsch language guides offer a quick introduction to foreign languages and convey interesting facts about the country and its people. All foreign language sentences in the book are translated not only meaningfully into German but also word for word. This facilitates understanding of the foreign language, allowing individual words to be easily exchanged. The grammar is explained briefly and understandably, as far as necessary for simple language use.
