Enjoying This

I'm really enjoying the lessons! They are easy to follow and it sounds quite beautiful!

Great place to start!

This is an amazing place to start I recommend Listening while driving it makes it easy to learn a language. The only thing i would say is wrong with the book is the massive use of them teaching you to say maim and sir in almost every sentence. Just learn how to say you instead and it will work just as well.

Learn fast, and easy.

The Pimsleur layout is perfect. All you have to do is follow along, repeating everything and you'll learn easily. Each lesson is 30mins long and should be heard 2-3 times on the same day. The next day you do the same with the next lesson. I love it,

Good need of pronunciation

I am using this as supplemental material for learning Portuguese. Very happy with the pronunciation and the fact that the lessons are only a half hour and I’m keeping up with them daily. Disappointed that there’s no writing practice at least in lessons one through five. That being said I am buying a book two. The most important thing for me is that it gives me a daily Portuguese work out

Best Place To Start

I have not yet gotten thru the whole program and after trying several programs, your's has proven to be the best, thus far. When I do this longer I will add to my comments

good program

this has been the best self study I have used to date. I am able to do one lesson twice a day on my commute. it is not to basic nor overloading. the lessons build on each other. I currently soak Portuguese but needed a refresher as I have not used the language regularly in over 15 years.

great way to learn!

the methods used in this book are great. they make you work to remember basic, yet useful words, and phrases. anytime I want to learn a new language I use this! I learn during my bus ride or when I'm driving to work. enjoy!

In my book speaking is first and fundamental!

I give the Pimsleur Brazilian Portuguese five stars because it is one of the few language courses that puts you immediately into a scenario where you have to speak, rather than read or learn grammar, in learning a new language. I have learned to speak to an intermediate level the languages of French and Tagalog with ease of remembrance. It has helped me in short trips to France and the Philippines. These courses work the voice and get one talking. Learning the rest (vocabulary, grammar, and deeper levels) come from speaking to natives, buying the 501 Verbs books, and studying the culture. If one is serious to start speaking first, with the rest over time, I can't think of another method to get anyone going.

Level 1

This is very helpful, I look forward to listening to the rest of the units.

Simply Amazing

It was so easy to follow the lessons as it was basic everyday conversations. What I loved the most is that every new lesson has a refresher of the older lessons.
