We have a new English as a Second language program at the Elementary school, so we wanted a few books for our other students to use to learn how to communicate. or to use for fun!!!! Review: Super useful for ongoing language practice - I'm a fluent Portuguese speaker, but don't live in a place where it's always spoken. Reading stories in this book is great practice, and I read them aloud from time to time. Very useful, and more engaging than the typical "this is a long list of grammar" books that have been so common. Really like this and the companion "easy" stories books. Really, those are not easy if you're a beginner, but I guess in the scheme of the full language they are. Super useful, glad this book is available!

Finally! Perfect reading material for Portuguese learning.
I've been attempting to find decent reading material for a while as a student of the Portuguese language, and Intermediate Portuguese Short Stories was an excellent choice for me. A difficulty that went well with my intermediate grasp of the language, a nice list of vocabulary after each story, and the challenging Q&A sections make this book a must-have for anybody wishing to learn more about this Romance language spoken in around 15 countries.

Helpful, interesting stories in context
The first two stories were just like touristy dialogues but the rest were more interesting. It was good to have the vocabulary at the end of each story for review. Not every word in the story is in the lists--just a lot of the main words. This is not a book for an absolute beginner. If you already know some Portuguese, you can study this on your own to help your reading speed and comprehension. I used this along with the Lingo Mastery 2000 most frequent Portuguese words in context book. Once I had gotten through 2/3 of that book, these stories were comprehensible. I think a lot of people are using Duolingo + Lingo Mastery books to learn languages.

Es lo que estaba buscando!
Trae historias muy interesantes, y puedes oir el audio mientras lo lees en el PDF escrito. Era exactamente lo que buscaba para mejorar mi comprension en el idioma. Los audios son muy claros, y sus historias son adecuadas para un nivel intermedio.

Great resource
I really rate this book. I like the clear format - the stories are a good length, and the level was just right for me. I liked the vocab listings at the end of each chapter - very helpful. I also liked the way that each chapter had a particular goal. It can be hard to find intermediate Portuguese material, which made this such a great find.
