From the Inside Flap

Living Language In-Flight Portuguese is the perfect boarding pass to learning Portuguese before you land.

There's no better way to make use of all that spare time on a plane than to master the essentials of a language. This 60-minute program is the simplest way to learn just enough to get by in every situation essential to both the tourist and business traveler.

The program covers everything from greetings and polite expressions to asking directions, getting around, checking into a hotel, and going to a restaurant. There are even sections for meeting people and spending a night on the town.

Short lessons make In-Flight Portuguese easy to use, and a handy pocket-sized insert is included as a cheat sheet for use on the go.

2.0 out of 5 stars Misleading advertising, November 6, 2009

I am no way implying that the product is bad - I am simply bringing it to people's attention before they purchase this that it is in fact BRAZILIAN portuguese and not European portuguese. Nowhere in this description or on the cover of the item does it tell you this. You have to infer it from the text on the back of the actual case: "Wondering how to make use of all that spare time on the plane while you're flying to Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, or Brasilia?" which you cannot see here on Amazon. All of the aforementioned cities are in Brazil. I just think it is wrong of the company not to plainly note on the package that this material is Brazilian portuguese. To me that is a lie by omission.

This is a very handy way to pick up very simple, conversational Portuguese if you have an hour to spare by working with a booklet and a very well produced cd. The sound quality is very clear and good as well. No substitute for a classroom setting but otherwise good for a quick lesson on the run.

It's Ok for learning basics, greetings, numbers, etc. I started listening on my daily commute several weeks before going to Brazil. The flight from Miami to Sao paulo was 8 hours and that wouldn't have been long enough. So unless you're a much faster learner than I, don't expect to learn even the basic greetings "in flight."
