Uma Aventura nas Férias da Páscoa

Uma Aventura nas Férias de Páscoa

Estou cada vez mais impressionado com esta série de livrinhos. Uma Aventura nas Férias de Páscoa conta a história dos nossos heróis a resgatar a Custódia de Belém, que foi roubada durante um nevão que aconteceu, inesperadamente, perto da Páscoa.

As autoras têm um feitio didático, portanto usam o romance para educar os leitores sobre as histórias da Custódia de Belém e o seu criador, os moinhos de maré no concelho de Seixal (na margem sul do rio Tejo) e não sei mais o quê.

Logo que terminei, abri a página do Kobo para comprar Uma Aventura na Ilha de Madeira.

I’ve just updated the Textbook page of the blog with a new set of books I’ve heard about.

Susana Morais is the creator of the Portuguese Lab Podcast and Academy and she’s written a couple of story books aimed at portuguese learners: A Casa Na Bosque for intermediate learners (B2) and A Baú das Coisas Perdidas for beginners (A2). They each come with an audio version read by the author and some questions at the end to test your comprehension. I have the B2 version and have listened to the first few minutes. It looks like a really useful addition to the ever-growing list of resources for learners.

Looking out at the landscape today, compared to when I started, when it was pretty much just the Practice Portuguese podcast – and even that was pretty shonky in the early days – there’s really quite a lot of good stuff out there for anyone wanting to ;earn european portuguese.

Anyway, the links above go to the Kobo versions, which is what I’m using, since it allows me to listen to the audio and read all on one device, but you can get a printed version or several other ebook options via her website Storyglot.
