Dirty Portuguese present phrases for every scenario, like reminding the taxi driver that it's only a 10-real ride from Copacabana beach back to your pousada. It also includes a section on native banter that helps readers make friends over caiparinhas and convince a local baiana that it's all right to spice up their acarajé with pimenta. Dirty Portuguese even features sweet words to entice a Carnaval beauty to become your new girlfriend maybe even all the way until Lent.
