Description
A Frequency Dictionary of Portuguese Core Vocabulary for Learners by Mark Davies and Ana Maria Raposo Preto-Bay is a comprehensive resource for learners of Portuguese. This dictionary presents the 5000 most commonly used words in the language, drawn from a vast collection of 20 million words from both Portuguese and Brazilian sources. Each entry includes the English equivalent, a sample sentence, and information on register and dialect variation. The dictionary is organized in two main ways: a frequency listing of the top 5000 words, and an alphabetical index. Additionally, there are thirty 'boxed' lists of the most frequently used words in key topics such as sports, weather, and clothing. This dictionary is an engaging and highly useful tool for students of all levels to build their Portuguese vocabulary. By using this dictionary, learners can access a wealth of information to help them improve their language skills.
