      100 Portuguese Short Stories For Beginners - World Language Institute Spain

      Introduction

      Reading culturally interesting and entertaining short stories to enhance your Portuguese is an easy way to improve your Portuguese language skills. This book contains a selection of 100 short stories for beginners and advanced learners with a wide range of genres, all prepared specifically for Portuguese language learners.

      The aim of this book is to teach different Portuguese vocabulary and phrases associated with short stories, and to improve your Portuguese language skills in a short period of time.

      Advance as you read

      Each of the first 83 short stories take about 2 minutes to read and average about 150 to 300 words. Important words and phrases relevant to each topic were carefully selected. The stories 83 to 104 are longer on average and slightly more advanced in terms of vocabulary, they also contain most of the vocabulary from the previous stories. The last 10 stories take about 3 to 5 minutes to read and are not only for advanced learners, but also for those enjoying culturally interesting short stories.

      All stories are written by linguists and native speakers from Portugal to ensure you can learn from authentic material while fine-tuning your Portuguese vocabulary and improving your comprehension. The content is intended mainly for elementary to intermediate level learners, but it will also be useful for more advanced learners as a way of practicing their reading skills and comprehension of the Portuguese language. The stories have been arranged according to their degree of difficulty and each story is accompanied by a key vocabulary section and story related questions.

      Using this book effectively

      To learn Portuguese effectively you just read each Portuguese story at a time and study the vocabulary after reading.

      Vocabulary will be introduced to you at a reasonable pace, so you’re not overwhelmed with difficult words all at once. Here, you won’t have to look up every other word, but you can simply enjoy the story and absorb new words simply from the story’s context.

      The Portuguese contained in here are written using easy to understand grammar and vocabulary that both, those at the beginner and intermediate levels can understand, appreciate, and learn from.

      Some stories are focused on dialogue. These stories contain loads of natural dialogue, so you can learn conversational Portuguese as you read. This is doubly beneficial as you will improve your speaking ability as well. Over time, you will build an intuitive understanding of how Portuguese functions. This differs from a more theoretical understanding put together via learning rules and conceptual examples.

      Free Audiobook in MP3 Format

      At the end of this book, after the last story, you can find the download link for the audio file. It contains 40 of the more extensive stories (55 to 96) that you find in the book.

      100 Portuguese Short Stories for Beginners

      1. As chaves

      Hoje estou atrasado, e tenho de sair para o trabalho rapidamente; estou literalmente a saltar para o meu carro. De repente, quando viro para a auto estrada, não tenho a certeza se trouxe as chaves de casa comigo. Estou a tocar na minha mochila. „Meu Deus! Esqueci-me das chaves," disse em voz alta. Inverto a marcha e conduzo de volta o mais rápido que consigo. Estaciono o carro mesmo em frente à minha porta, apesar de não ser permitido estacionar ou parar um carro. Eu vivo no terceiro andar e ainda corro pelas escadas, esperando safar-me disto. Procuro as chaves no meu apartamento mas não as encontro de imediato. Após alguns minutos apercebo-me: tinha deixado as chaves no meu casaco!

      Desço as escadas a correr, de volta para o carro. Estou à procura. Onde está o meu carro? Vejo ao longe, um reboque que leva o meu carro.

      2. Diálogo - O que é Cultura?

      Estou sentado com vários estudantes num café em Porto.

      Temos uma reunião internacional.

      Americanos, Portugueses, e Alemães sentam-se numa mesa e discutem.

      O Americano pergunta, „O que realmente significa cultura neste país?"

      Eu digo, „Esse termo pode significar muito. Literatura, teatro, arte ou até a maneira como falamos, incluindo a maneira de te governares a ti mesmo."

      „Também inclui o comportamento?" pergunta o Americano.

      „Comportamento, em termos gerais, faz provavelmente, parte da cultura," diz o Alemão.

      „Então isso significa que quando me comporto, tenho cultura," pergunta o Americano, sorrindo.

      „Mais ou menos, respondo. „Mas educação e boas maneiras também descrevem a cultura.

      „Pode dizer-se que em Portugal eu tenho cultura e tu não?" pergunta o Americano.

      „Não, isso seria arrogante", afirmo.

      3. Intoxicação Alimentar

      O meu irmão Marco sente-se terrível; ele tem estado de cama desde ontem. Está com náuseas, dores de cabeça, tosse e diarreia. Ele também se sente extremamente exausto e cansado. O meu pai leva o meu irmão ao médico. Ele explica tudo ao médico e o médico examina o Marco. O médico descobre que o Marco tem uma intoxicação alimentar. É uma situação perigosa, porque o Marco já está desidratado! O médico também aconselha a que o Marco fique na cama e tome medicação forte duas vezes por dia. O meu irmão acha que a intoxicação alimentar aconteceu devido a um kebab que comeu no dia antes, quando parou na baixa da cidade.

      4. O Vizinho

      Eu e a minha mãe estamos a observar o nosso novo vizinho. Todas as manhãs, às oito horas, ele sai de casa. Nós observámo-lo da janela da cozinha. O homem é jovem, e usa fato e gravata. Nós achamos que ele é um homem com classe. Ele chega e sai sempre a uma hora específica.

      A minha mãe também tem muitos amigos, e frequentemente convida homens desconhecidos para entrarem em casa. Os homens são muito amigáveis e frequentemente oferecem presentes à minha mãe. Por vezes, depois das suas visitas, ficamos com muito dinheiro nas mãos. Quando os homens saem, nós normalmente vamos até ao centro comercial. Um dia, encontramos o novo
