5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for Travelers or Learning Basic Conversational Skills, July 25, 2005

This review is from: Brazilian Portuguese 101 (Learn Portuguese with the Travel Linguist) (DVD)

Excellent for travelers or for learning the basics of conversational Brazilian Portuguese when you do not have access to a formal class. I homeschool my daughter and am using the DVD to introduce my 8-year old to Portuguese. I plan to buy the other languages in the series as well. Although there are some excellent software programs for learning or teaching Portuguese, this is the only DVD or video I have found -- with the exception of Bilingual Baby, which is clearly geared to toddlers and teaches only basic vocabulary. I am delighted to find this series!

4.0 out of 5 stars What's chicken in Portuguese?, September 4, 2005

By 

Lucy Becker - See all my reviews

This review is from: Brazilian Portuguese 101 (Learn Portuguese with the Travel Linguist) (DVD)

The DVD has two people, a man and a woman speaking the words/phrases slowly and normally. I like the way they do this so you can learn how to pronounce the words then learn how to say the words/phrases faster, like normal conversation.
There were quite a few useful words/phrases, but I would've liked it to teach me more menu items. Right now, all I can order is water, coffee, beer and wine. I have no idea what the words for fish, chicken or beef look or sound like, but if I see those words, I can probably figure out how to pronounce them. I would recommend this DVD.
