Shopping
Heading to the shops is one of the most reliable ways to use a new language, and this set stocks your Portuguese with the words for it. From clothing and accessories to the phrases for asking prices, you will build practical Portuguese shopping vocabulary you can use the moment you walk into a store.
Portuguese Shopping and Clothing Vocabulary
You will translate wearable items like vestido (dress), sapatos (shoes), and camisa (shirt), pick up fabrics such as seda (silk) and couro (leather), and learn handy phrases including Quanto custa? (How much is it?) and É muito caro! (It's very expensive!). With seven sets, the vocabulary stretches from basic clothes to jewelry and a few everyday extras.
Those ready-made phrases are the real prize, since they let you actually ask a price and react to it, turning the list into something you can use in a real shop straight away.
How the quizzes work
Each quiz has around ten to nineteen words and takes about five minutes, so you can run one whenever you have a moment and repeat it until the words come automatically.
Did you know?
Portuguese builds some words by joining two together, and a great example sits in this vocabulary. An umbrella is a guarda-chuva, which literally combines "guard" and "rain," so the word describes exactly what the object does. Once you notice that habit, longer Portuguese words start to feel less random.
The fabric words are also worth drilling first. Knowing terms like algodão (cotton) and seda (silk) comes in handy the moment you start reading labels or comparing two similar items, which is a big part of real shopping.
How to get started
Begin with the everyday clothing words, then add the phrases so you can handle a full exchange at the till. These free Portuguese quizzes are quick and interactive, an easy way to shop with confidence in Portuguese.
