Pimsleur Portuguese (Brazilian) Level 1 Lessons 26-30: Learn to Speak and Understand Brazilian Portuguese with Pimsleur Language Programs

This is the third time I've used a Pimsleur course. I travel for work and sometimes need to learn a language in a hurry. Pimsleur is nice because your speech will sound more natural than it will if you learn from a book and the course teaches you highly useful phrases. You will also develop listening comprehension quickly... I used the first two Spanish Pimsleur courses (~2 months, total) and now I understand Spanish much better than I understand French, even though I took French for three years in high school. The only major problem is that these courses are definitely biased towards male speakers. In the practice conversations, they usually ask you to play the role of a man talking to a woman and the conversations can get a little...weird.

I have tried a number of other programs and Pimsleur is excellent. I commute a lot and the 30-minute lessons are very convenient and make the time go by. Nevertheless, any language learning requires commitment and work and this is no different. At the end of the 30 lessons, you will be able to carry on a conversation about some very basic things like directions, food, arriving and leaving, finding a restroom and most important, where to buy coffee.

Great way to improve you speaking skills. I understand a lot of Portuguese but was uncomfortable speaking out loud, this made me feel way more confident! i definitely recommend it.

Very good service. Arrived on time brand new. Excited to improve my Portuguese.

Although I am not primarily an auditory person, the Pimsleur Method works great for me. I'm learning Portuguese as I drive my car (please note I live in a small rural area). Obrigada.

Love it. Trains my ear and my speaking reflexes. Starts at the very beginning!

I’ve always heard good things about pinsuler. I just think having a regular book to go with audio would help a lot more.

Easy to understand... all is needed is practice.

Amazing how quickly you can learn and understand. Fun to do and easy to use in the car etc.
