*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A warm, immersive way to learn European Portuguese through story.
A New Friend: Bilingual European Portuguese–English Stories for Kids continues a unique 52-story reading system designed for children who want to learn Portuguese naturally through stories, not memorisation or drills.
From a friendly dog waiting at the door to a bright red ball that brings everyone together, a peaceful walk through the park and a fun-filled bath day, each story transforms ordinary moments into warm adventures filled with friendship, laughter, curiosity, and discovery.
The writing blends clear, simple language with authentic Portuguese storytelling traditions, creating stories that feel like real children's literature rather than language lessons.
This book continues a carefully structured progressive reading method designed to develop European Portuguese reading confidence through repetition, context, and emotional engagement. Each book contains four interconnected stories that gradually increase in difficulty. Vocabulary is carefully controlled and recycled throughout the series, helping young readers build a strong foundation in Portuguese, one story at a time.
At this A1–A2 Foundations level:
Present tense remains dominant
Sentences are short, clear, and easy to follow
Everyday vocabulary is repeated and reinforced
New words are introduced gradually and naturally
English translation support is included for comprehension and confidence
Rather than teaching Portuguese through grammar explanations or exercises, this method helps children absorb the language naturally through meaningful stories, familiar situations, and repeated exposure.
Perfect for young beginners who want to discover European Portuguese.
