Hope this helps 😊

Edit: Someone else suggested the same book at the same time apparently! Guess that means it's a great book (it is!)

I have this book: Com licença

It’s good for exactly this, but it’s geared as much to English speakers who have already learnt a fair amount Spanish to use it to learn Brazilian Portuguese. There’s a large comparison vocabulary for similarities and key differences at the back.

I see that Amazon gives a slightly higher rating to the book Pois não but I don’t know it.

I'll list all the stuff I'll be using!

I'm doing Brazilian Portuguese, so I'll be going through the Semantica course which I keep hearing is very good, although subscription-based.

Books that I got were:

1. Muito Prazer - just for learning in general.
   
2. [Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar: A Practical Guide] (https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Brazilian-Portuguese-Grammar-Practical/dp/0415566444/ref=pd_sim_14_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0415566444&pd_rd_r=ZXSC993J5ZY3NH6K3898&pd_rd_w=cSvFc&pd_rd_wg=tD8Wj&psc=1&refRID=ZXSC993J5ZY3NH6K3898) - which is supposed to be THE Brazilian Portuguese grammar book to have.
   
3. Pois Não - More technical approach for those with a Spanish-speaking background. Not 100% sure on this one yet, but I like a challenge.
   
4. 501 Portuguese Verbs - for all the conjugation tables.
   
   Websites:
   1. Hacking Portuguese
   
   
5. Brazilian Gringo
   
6. WordReference.com - Dictionary
   
7. Lang-8.com - AWESOME resource where you write diary entries for your target language and people will correct you. Did this/currently doing this for French and Spanish. I've gotten corrections in like, 5 minutes.
   
8. italki.com - For conversation practice. There are dirt-cheap community tutors who are patient with you, some for around $3.00 an hour.
   
9. BrazilPod - Free podcasts.
   
   Programs/Apps:
   
10. Anki - To make your own Flashcards. Everyone swears by this thing. I like it 1000% better than Memrise because the UI is super-simple and you don't have to force yourself to go through decks with stuff you already know.
    
    If anyone has more suggestions, let me know!

Hello there, I know a book specially made for Spanish speakers who want to learn Portuguese, it's called "pois não", here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0292717814/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0292717814&linkCode=as2&tag=smallad-20&linkId=WRX6FACNONFEA5VS

I am trying to move to a city like Florianapolis sometime in April, work on my Portugues, do some volunteer work and then catch some games in the nearby areas. I would like to stay for a few months and really get to know more about the country. For spanish speakers looking to learn portuguese, I recommend the book "Pois Nao", its about $20 on amazon and is a textbook aimed at native english speakers who speak spanish and would likt to learn portuguese.

Also, please be sure to check out /r/wc2014 !
