Dr Edward de Lima, whom many of us might know as a college lecturer in English and National Cadet Corps officer, is to soon release his book *Spoken Portuguese*. This will be released on Tuesday, March 16 at 4.30 pm at the Kala Academy meeting hall.
An invite says Portugal's consul general Dr Miguel de Calheiros will be chief guest, while New York-based writer and editor Victor Rangel-Ribeiro and well-known gynecologist Dr Sidney Pinto do Rosario will be guests of honour. Incidentally, Edward recently attained a PhD on the literary work of Prof Armande Menezes (grandfather of early Goanetter Vivek Menezes, or VM). The Porvorim-based academic had also earlier put together a short book, called *Spoken Konkani*, which did well in the market, offering to teach the basics of conversational Konkani in the Roman script.
