Title: 30 Year Old Out of Date Usage
Product review: Book may be useful for the professional Portuguese "translator" that is looking for a variety of colloquial word usages ranging from 1983 to many years back. But for everyday "informal" Brazilian Portuguese spoken today, I have found it of little use - - buyer must remember that while Amazon says the book is a 1984 copyright date (the book itself says 1983) this book is two decades (or more) old. Informal everyday word usage in Brazil today is much different than from the 70's and early 80's. I travel to Brazil once a month and have found it of little use.
