Here is a great way to increase your Street Smart Portuguese, build your vocabulary, and learn more about Brazilian culture: Below is a list of 28 Brazilian magazines on a wide variety of subjects: social issues, health, food, business, technology, lifestyle, sports, cars, celebrities, movies, and more.
If you are going to take the Celpe-Bras proficiency test, this is a must-do: Get in the habit of reading in Portuguese every day. Celpe-Bras uses authentic materials including articles from several of the magazines below.
Although it is impossible to know what will be on the test, I’d say you can focus on the first ten magazines of this list if you are preparting to take the test. This is because articles from these magazines have repeatedly been used in the exam.
Tip: Read out loud. It will make a big difference in your pronunciation, fluency, and vocabulary retention.
