Overview


Portuguese is the mother tongue of about 170 million people, mainly in Portugal and the Portuguese islands in the Atlantic, Brazil, and Portugal's former overseas provinces in Africa and Asia. Pimsleur's Brazilian Portuguese teaches the São Paulo dialect of Brazilian Portuguese.

Brazilian Portuguese, Conversational

  • Sixteen 30-minute lessons of spoken Brazilian Portuguese language instruction. These sixteen lessons are the same as the first sixteen lesson of Pimsleur's 30-Unit Comprehensive Program.
  • Each lesson includes an introductory conversation, and new vocabulary and structures and includes practice for vocabulary introduced in previous lessons.
  • Essential grammar and vocabulary. Topics include: greetings, numbers, meals, shopping, telling time, scheduling activities, and asking and giving directions.
  • No mindless repetition! Converse with native speakers in natural (and useful!) conversations.
  • Easy, fast, fun and effective language acquisition.
  • Completely Audio - anytime, anywhere. No computer necessary! Unlike expensive software programs which tie learners to a computer, Pimsleur courses are available in CD or mp3 format to meet your needs.
  • Receive an instant credit of $150 to trade up from the Conversational to the full Level 1 Comprehensive CD course.

    Nao Muito Bem - Not Very Good

    I purchased this program and two others. This rates the worse of the three. You can however listen to this one while in the car as a stand alone. There is a great del of conversation about 'How much Money you have,' 'where you want to eat' 'Let's go to the hotel' 'How much for a beer' I don't speak portuguese very well, and I don't understand very well. If you translate these into portuguese this is pretty much the extent of the lessons. The only positive use that I see for this program is if you a. just want to hear the proper BRAZILIAN accent or b. want to know how to negotiate for sex. I wish I hadn't bought this set of CDs. Abrigado! e Tudo legal! (thank you and everythings cool!
