About the Language
Portuguese is the sixth most spoken language in the world. Of its 250 million speakers, 190 million are Brazilians. Thus, Brazilian Portuguese is more widely used than European Portuguese. The differences between them are comparable to those between British and American English, as such languages have evolved separately on either side of the Atlantic over the last few centuries.
Enhanced PDF Features
The Audio Forum® Difference: Audio Forum® PDF books are enhanced with links to MP3 audio files. Speaker icons in the text allow you to hear the corresponding audio. The MP3 files can also be loaded onto your MP3-compatible CD player or digital media player. The PDF books may be read (without enhanced features) on tablet computers. A 10-inch or larger screen is recommended.
