Olá, pessoal! Tudo beleza por aí?
There are several ways to learn Portuguese and one of them is to use comics. I love comics and I think that if you learn and have a good time it’s always a good match!
So I chose some of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes (Calvin e Haroldo in Portuguese!) comic strips to share with you guys today!

My son enjoys comics and is trying to learn Portuguese reading Chico Bento. I am finding though that there is so much slang that it is quite challenging. Your post is exactly what I was looking for and is apparently the only one of it’s kind. Thank you!
