Learn Portuguese: 90 New Words that You Will Have No Trouble Memorizing

A great way to build vocabulary is by learning patterns between the English and Portuguese languages. Here is a great pattern to learn:

  • English words ending in -ation = Portuguese words ending in –ação

Below are several examples. I am sure you can think of lots more. Just keep in mind that there are exceptions. A dictionary in hand is very useful as you think about new words. You can choose a good dictionary here.
