2.0 out of 5 stars
The President would not say Donde,
By Portuguese teacher (North London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Discovering Portuguese: An Introduction to the Language and Its People with Book (Audio Cassette)
This course is an odd mixture of formal and colloquial language and is too much Lisbon centred. It is full of colloquialisms like bica for black coffe and the like, you use in Lisbon but not everywhere in the country, let alone other Portuguese speaking countries. Pronunciation is not always the best standard. Donde is something careful speakers do not say, they say De onde (this means from where or where from in a question). At the other end of the scale you have very careful speech, like that of the President of Portugal, too advanced for a beginners course. This is neither a good beginners course nor a suitable advanced one. I would not use it with my students (I teach evening classes).
