BBC's "Portuguese Phrase Book" by editors Alan Freelan and Christopher Naylor this book covers basic Portuguese words and phrases that a traveller might need to use at a restaurant, store, hotel, or any other place where travellers frequent.Since this book was edited in the United Kingdom, the Portuguese covered in this book reflects the language as it is used in neighboring Portugal. If travelling to Brazil, some words in Brazilian Portuguese might be different due to that country's adoption of African and indigenous words. Therefore, use caution when purchasing this book if travelling to Brazil. Otherwise, the book is a great, well organized, and easy-to-read reference book that will make travelling much more easier.
