Reseñas de la Crítica

"Pimsleur programs provide plenty of positive reinforcement that will keep learners on track, and we found that Pimsleur gave us more proficiency and confidence in speaking the new language than any of the other language programs we reviewed." (AudioFile magazine)

Good program and very easy to learn and improve!

I’ve been using this program for several weeks now and it’s been very helpful by building up my confidence in vocabulary in learnin Brazilian Portuguese. I would recommend this to anyone who wishes to learn this language!

Great foreign language start

Essy to use and follow. The dialogue is a little repetitive but I think that's by design. Highly recommend, but requires intent to continue with later series.

so much learning

I'm learning so much!!!! this audiobook is giving me so much motivation. definitely give this a try

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.

Enjoying This

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

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.

Good, but a couple obvious mistakes.

This is an excellent way to learn Portuguese while driving. I needed to review each lesson several times but was able to understand it.
