In the morning the kids watched Disney's Os Tres Mosqueteiros so in the afternoon when we found ourselves at Barnes and Noble and I saw this 48 page version along with a buy two get the third free deal, I did not hesitate and purchased The three musketeers, Little Princess and Robinso Crusoe. We started reading The Three Musketeers on Saturday night. There are elements that need explanation- what is a cardinal, what are the king's guards and how they are different from the musketeers, why the two sets of guards were fighting, why the two sets of guards were needed. The plot is also somewhat chunked up, but not badly enough that it is impossible to patch. I am completely content with patching since I am translating and have been providing patching along the way for the last six years:). For myself and for my audience I think these sets of books are great-simple, entertaining and different.
Here is a list of some videos we will be using in the next few weeks to boost our Portuguese learning:
