Format:Paperback
This pocket-sized book is perfect for those travelling to Portugal. It's really aimed at holiday-makers (with sections on travel, accommodation, eating out, sightseeing, shopping and health) but it's so comprehensive it would probably be useful to business travellers too. Virtually every word or phrase has a pronunciation guide, which is very helpful. At the back is a guide to basic grammar and a useful 65-page dictionary section (English-Portuguese and Portuguese-English). And the Amazon price is incredibly low. What more could you want?

Format:Paperback
This was my first taste of Portuguese. It's a good size for your pocket or handbag, but it's just what it is, a phrase book and vocabulary (I wouldn't call it a dictionary). The printing quality could be better, in particular for the Portuguese words. This said, it served me well until I decided to actually learn the language and moved up to Manuela Cook's course.

If you only need to know a few words to get you through your holiday this book is for you.
I used it on a recent trip to Madeira and found it very useful for understanding restaurant Menu's and ordering food and drink.
Also became useful on a unplanned visit to A&E!

Not too bad
It fits in your pocket and is worth buying for emergency communication if you don't have any Portuguese at all but it doesn't always help. Read more
