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!
