... in response to Learning Brazilian Portuguese, posted by Jimmie on Feb 8, 2003I would try a course in a local school but if thats not an an option, there are a few tape courses.
LIving language has a contential portuguese course that is ok. not brazilian portuguse but it allows you to communicate just the same.
Pimsleur has a audio course, expensive about 350 for complete course, but no books or writen exercises. strictly audio. techniques for memory really work. he has a short 4cd course as an intro for about 20 at any major book store.
also there is are some short courses in university book stores.
give me a buzz if you need to know more. I too will be hitting the books again preparing for my second trip to Brazil soon.
