Importance of a book

We live in a time where everything is digital, many bookstores offer language learning books in PDF, EPUB and other formats. There are those that go much further, offering zip or rar files for MP3 M4a files and other formats to help with pronunciation. Are books in digital archives effective? Yes they are too! However in Portuguese, books of this style for learning other languages ​​are very scarce compared to the languages ​​that are taught to English, French and Spanish speakers, the large number of books in Portuguese to teach languages ​​are concentrated in English and Spanish, and most of the time it doesn’t come with that important audio to help pronounce it, and when we find it in another language they are not effective. If you speak English, French or Spanish, be happy because you have one more point, but if you speak only Portuguese in search of learning other languages, do not despair, this article will help you.

NOTE: we will not cover ALL languages.
