If you want to learn Ghetto Portuguese this book is for you!
Imagine a book called "English Grammar" which was based on the English spoken by the uneducated people of South Africa. This book is no better! The author had the audacity to call this a Portuguese Grammar, but it doesn't even deserve the name of a Brazillian Portuguese Grammar as it takes as its' standard the language from the ghettos of Brazil. If you want to learn correct Portuguese or read literary works in Portuguese then get the Portuguese Grammar written by Joseph Dunn - which is still the most comprehensive Portuguese Grammar in English. If you want to travel to the ghettos of Brazil and talk to uneducated people than this is your Book!
