Aquarela was created to be practical and user-friendly. The method provides students of Brazilian Portuguese with an in-depth, structured approach to develop oral communication and compression skills. Aquarela is an excellent source of wide-raging, up-to-date vocabulary and useful phrases. Grammar is explained for practical use, keeping linguistic terminology to a minimum.
