3.0 out of 5 stars Cutting edge in 1945, but better books are available now., July 28, 2000
By 
Lee V. Douglas (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Spoken Portuguese Book 1 (Spoken Portuguese, Units 1-12) (Book I) (Paperback)
This is one of a series produced during the Second World War, when the U.S. government hired the best linguists available to turn out materials that would teach foreign languages to soldiers fast. It is the same methodology now used to teach languages to U.S. diplomats.

In spite of the publication date given above, this book was first published in 1944 or 1945 and the content is dated. Sound recordings are available, but I have heard criticism from Brazilians of the pronunciation.

Excellent books and recordings have been published since The War, and they will be more congenial to most students.
