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.

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.

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.

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 far very good.

This is not my first Pimsluer product. I have also used their Spanish language products. The format seems to be pretty standard through all of them. My girlfriend is Brazilian, so I picked this up to help me understand the language. She has complimented me on the speed thay I have picked up the language and also my ability to speak with only a minor accent
