Portuguese is the primary language spoken in Brazil, and not everyone in the country knows English. Therefore, if you plan to travel around Brazil, having a Portuguese phrasebook with pronunciation will be very useful. Even if you intend to stick to tourist areas, a English-Portuguese phrasebook can help you with many questions. You can either download one or purchase a paper phrasebook to have it readily available. It will be relevant and helpful anywhere in the country. Here are some useful Portuguese phrases for you:
