Ponto de Encontro: Portuguese as a World Language is the best-selling Portuguese textbook designed to help you learn either Brazilian or European Portuguese and understand how they differ. Extensive culture-based sections throughout create authentic environments for practical skill-development in each area: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Instruction seamlessly paired with practice will reinforce your learning, build your vocabulary, and strengthen your understanding of grammatical structures.

The 2nd Edition has been completely updated to reflect the 1990 Acordo Ortográfico (spelling reform), ensuring that you learn how to read and write Portuguese accurately for today's world. Other updates include a helpful new grammar feature, as well as engaging new exercises that feature task-oriented communication.
