3.0 out of 5 stars Good but could be better, November 22, 2003

The program is very useful & easy to use. It is only suppose to be a quick overview & not a complete course. What they give you is good; however, I kept coming up with words I wish they had included. It's divided into specialized groups...First words, numbers, food, shopping, time, colors, countries, body. I didn't need countries or body at all. I'm not going to have a conversation with someone & recite all the countries I can say in Brazilian, same goes with parts of my body. Maybe a few body parts could have been included in other sections...but besides "take my hand", "I'm touched in the head", or "my ear aches" (you get the idea) I'm not going to be discussing details with anyone. As a first time traveler there I felt I wanted to know many words & phrases that weren't included. Restaurant, What's your name?, My name is..., address, ocean, mountain. Fish was included but beef, pork, and chicken weren't. Numbers only went to 20. I think 30-100 at least would have been useful. I still would recommend this as an easy, helpful beginning. It needs to be supplemented with other information to be better.

As a novice to the Portuguese Language, I purchased this program to learn basic words and phrases. Though the software accomplished this purpose, the problem I had was that there is no lesson that teaches the sounds of the Brazilian Alphabets. If you are looking to learn basic Brazilian Portuguese words, then this program will suffice. However, this program is not for a student who is seriously seeking to learn Brazilian Portuguese.
