Biografía breve: John J. Nitti earned a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he was a professor of Spanish and Portuguese for more than fifteen years. His history with exploring Old Spanish lexicography led to major government funding from the U.S. and Spain, allowing him (along with his mentor, Lloyd Kasten) to devise innovative ways to bring computing to bear on the Old Spanish Dictionary project, which the Wisconsin Seminary of Medieval Spanish Studies had been at work on since the 1930s. In addition to his directorship of the Old Spanish Dictionary project (1975-2001), Nitti and Kasten founded the Hispanic Seminary of Medieval Studies (HSMS), initially to disseminate the large numbers of transcripts and other materials that the dictionary project was producing.

501 Portuguese Verbs: Fully Conjugated in All the… por John J. Nitti

501 of the most common Portuguese verbs are presented fully conjugated in all their tenses. This is an invaluable aid, especially for irregular verbs. Each verb and its tneses fills one page; at the bottom of each page are useful examples of verb usage.

While Brasilian Portuguese does not use reflexive verbs as much as Spanish, there are plenty of examples of the use of reflexive verbs.

This book is practically a must as an aid for studying Portuguese.… (más)
