Lingo Dingo and the Chef who spoke Portuguese by Mark Pallis

Learning Portuguese for children has never been more fun


Following on from the success of the wildly popular The Fabulous Lost and Found and the little Portuguese mouse, bestselling author, and writer on the Emmy Winning Tales of Peter Rabbit, Mark Pallis returns to make learning Portuguese for kids and children even more fun


Lingo Dingo loves to help. Anyone. Anytime. Anyhow.... In this heartwarming story, Lingo helps a friend make a special cake. There's just one problem. The Chef only speaks Portuguese.... What could go wrong ?


This heartwarming English Portuguese kids book:

Blends an English language story with over 50 Portuguese words and phrases so that children learn Portuguese without realising;

Builds a child's confidence in engaging with a new language;

Cements the foundation of a lifelong love of the Portuguese language.

And now with the follow up bilingual Portuguese English story, Lingo Dingo and the Portuguese Chef, you can learn another 50 Portuguese words and phrases


This book uses the unique Story Powered Language Learning method work to help children learn Portuguese without realising it.


Unlike other Portuguese English books for children, or traditional bilingual Portuguese English childrens books (or bilingual Portuguese English kids books), this Portuguese language learning book for kids is different. We take a fun character, Lingo Dingo, who kids will love, and then we put her in a tight squeeze, where she needs to figure out the meaning of the Portuguese words and phrases in the story in order to help save the day. Kids will be so busy laughing that they don't realise they're learning.


Message from the Author


I am passionate about learning languages. There is something special about that sense of connection you get when you talk to another person in their mother tongue. The expression 'they really spoke my language' really captures that magic feeling. So unlike other Portuguese childrens books, this book makes Portuguese for kids fun. I really wanted to focus on words and expressions that would make people smile. Imagine the joy on the child's face when they say that special phrase to a native speaker They'll feel so proud, and you will too


with my best wishes,

Mark Pallis
