The previous editions of this phrasebook swayed along the production esplanade thanks to the deckchair planning of Jim Jenkin, then publishing manager, and the follow-up work of his successor, Peter D’Onghia. Commissioning editors Karina Coates and Karin Vidstrup Monk did a samba through the initial research, with poise and fi nesse, deftly recruiting translator Marcia Monje de Castro, who even managed to have a feijoada party in the middle of it all. Rachel Williams jumped in to oversee the fourth edition. Editor Ben Handicott explored all things Brazilian, with assistance from fellow editors Piers Kelly, who proofed and wrote a few words here and there, and Francesca Coles, who chipped in with work on the Phrasebuilder chapter as well as proofi ng. In a swan-song performance, editor Emma Koch lent a hand, humming quite a few bars of the introduction. Managing editor Annelies Mertens kept her fi nger on the pulse, discovered it was a bossa nova, and kept everything in time. Layout artist John Shippick looked up from his beach towel and away from the volleyball long enough to make the book look as beautiful as the girl from Ipanema, who was passing by. Nick Stebbing, technically a genius, provided macro assistance and was way too busy to notice. Layout was checked

He was also an invaluable source of language and cultural information – obrigado! The map came via cartographic designer Wayne Murphy and managing cartographer Paul Piaia.

Portuguese is spoken by around 190 million people worldwide, 89% of whom live in Brazil. Brazil, the largest country in South America, is the only Portuguese-speaking nation on the conti- nent. Although the country is large, there’s very little regional variation, so you’ll have no trouble making yourself understood from top to bottom. The Portuguese arrived in Brazil at the beginning of the 16th century. Speakers from the diff erent regions in Portugal all brought their own dialectal variations. However, as Portu- guese colonists came into contact with the Tupi tribes that lived along the Atlantic coast, the Tupi language, along with Portuguese, became the main languages of Brazil. This was mostly due to the Jesuits, who translated prayers and hymns into Tupi and in doing so at a glance … recorded and promoted language name: the indigenous language.

Due to this divergence, Brazilian Portuguese today diff ers from European Portuguese in approximately the same way that British English diff ers from American English. European and Brazilian Portuguese have diff erent spelling, diff erent pronunciation and to some extent, diff erent vocabulary. For example, in Portugal, the word for ‘train’ is comboio and in Brazil you’d say trem. This book will ensure not only that you have the right words at your disposal, but that you pronounce them as a true brasileiro (if you’re a man) or brasileira (if you’re a woman). Need more encouragement? Remember, the contact you make using Brazil- ian Portuguese will make your travels unique. Local knowledge, new relationships and a sense of satisfaction are on the tip of your tongue, so don’t just stand there, say something!
