Critic reviews

“The audio-only lessons build upon one another, using a native speaker to help you learn useful words and actually construct sentences from the get-go.” —Minneapolis Star-Tribune

“Unlike other audio language programs, this series encourages students to create their own sentences, making it more fun and conversational than other more expensive programs.” —The Cleveland Plain Dealer

“Focuses on real-world conversation...Great value.” —Men's Health magazine

Hreqt learning!!!

Listen to this in the car, at home. Gr at way to learn a new language, the voice of the portuguese speaker was a bit annoying, but I got used to it.

Great for learning Brazilian Portuguese!!

This audiobook is one of the better ones I have purchased over the last couple of years. Good audio quality. The native speaker has a clear Brazilian accent. There are pauses after the speaker, so you can try the word or phrase yourself. Then the word or phrase is repeated, so you can evaluate your pronunciation. Definitely worth the time and money.

worth the money

It was worth every penny to help you practice and learn Portuguese. You won't regret it.

A great hands-free way to learn a language.

Any additional comments?

This is all I want to say. Can't think of 15 words. The min review word count requirement is ridiculous. It's too difficult to rate books this way.

Exactly what I was looking for - Learn in the car

I'm listening to the CDs again and again, as it is the principle of this method. the choice of words, sentences et sequence used is really good.I'm starting Protuguese from scratch and I have the feeling that I'm progresing at an unexpected pace.

Any additional comments?

For those who, like me, want to use the wasted time in traffic jams, learning the enjoyable way a new language, this method is perfect. Espcially if you start from scratch ,which is my case. The method is based on repetition of words and sentences in Portuguese after the English translation. The repetition make you start become familiar with simple sentence structure and you start building up reflexes in this foreign language. Learning Portuguese in your car ! It was exactly the type of product/method I was looking for!
