You will learn the basics in portuguese. That being said, it's a very slow method: you will have to reach page 58 to learn "to be" (present tense) in portuguese. Moreover, each lesson begin with a very basic grammar explanation (what is a noun?, what is an article?). I find it a bit condescending (the author could have assumed that her readers went to elementary school). The CD is very helpful. I would not buy the book without it. ![]() Learn Portuguese 101 DVD with SpeakMore (Brazilian Portuguese) Software $19.95 Start speaking Portuguese today with The Travel Linguist Portuguese 101 DVD and SpeakMore Portuguese software. * The Portuguese 101 DVD has 3 different levels that teach 101 basic Portuguese words and phrases.

I am on 10 out of 16 lessons, and I feel like I'm really speaking Portuguese! Each lesson is 30 mins long, so I can listen to it on my commute to work and it doesn't take any extra time out of my day. The price was a steal for what I'm getting out of it. I wish there was a Conversational II so I could continue my lessons! |
