very well designed lessons

all lessons were very easy to understand and learn. The repetition helps to memorize without even noticing.

Great audio

I’ve learned more pronunciation in 2 days than a semester online. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn to speak. It would be nice to have the exercises to read as your saying it. A few words hard to understand.

Great way to learn a language

Any additional comments?

This is my first time using audible for language learning purposes and I am very pleased. I am a visual learner but the pace and repetition made it possible for me to still learn some Portuguese. There were a few times I had to rewind and listen to certain phrases again but I imagine this is normal. It is literally a foreign language. I would highly recommend this program. Each lesson is about 30 min and they recommend you only do one a day. They do a good job recalling words and phrases in the next lesson instead of overwhelming you with new material each time. Its a productive way to use your morning commute time. Give it a try!

Awesome European Portuguese Audiobook

The audiobook takes listeners on a fantastically constructed educational excursion. The book is interactive, allowing speakers of any level to quickly understand basic conversational elements in real life situations that assist in better memory acquisition.

The content is not too long allowing the listeners to set aside time each day towards mastering the language. All in all a great listen, powerfully delivered with strong content.

Great for learning pronunciation and basic phrases

As a Spanish speaker I bought this to prepare for an upcoming trip to Portugal, primarily so that I could better pronounce Portuguese place names, menu items etc. and not just say them in Spanish. I’m extremely satisfied as these lessons were exactly what I was looking for. I’m hoping that the next volumes cover some more basic requests like ordering in restaurants and asking how much things cost. The conversations in this volume cracked me up a couple of times, as the American dude kept fishing for comments from the Portuguese woman about his Portuguese (it works lol). Recommended!

I can't believe how fast I learned

I am absolutely not a person who would pick up a language very well. Being a bit dyslexic it has never been top of my list. But, I wanted to go to Portugal knowing a little bit. After listening and doing this program for such a short period of time, I couldn't believe what I knew and could already say. It was crazy how fast I picked it up. It was so beyond cool and so exciting I decided I wanted to learn a little bit of other languages. That is absolutely not in my dialogue or never would have been if it wasn't for this program. This is the best ever. I promise you there has been no other thing out there that I would consider to be an awesome way to learn another language and make it actually interesting and fun to want to learn more languages. Ultimately the best ever!!!

easy to follow

Love it, I think I want to focus on Brazilian Portuguese. with a smart phone and head phones, you can learn anywhere.

It’s fine

This follows the same format as Pimsleur courses but for me the nature of European Portuguese doesn’t lend itself well to pure audio learning because of the phonetic system. I find find that I need written material to follow along.

muito bem!

it's helping a big help, especially with pronunciation. The lessons are just the right length for daily repetition and practice.

First encounter

I speak 3 foreign languages well. And I am going to speak Portuguese fluently in a relatively short time. Great course
