5.0 out of 5 stars Good Language Learning Product, June 3, 2003

This review is from: Learn Portuguese Now! 9.0 (CD-ROM)

Recently I decided to take an exchange student from Portugal into my home and thought it would be more friendly to learn some Portuguese so I could talk to him in his native language. I ended up buying Portuguese Now to help me learn the language and I was surprised at how good it really worked. I was able to really work on the fundamentals of learning a language through various games, practice conversations, videos and more. One of the most intresting features I found was a Pronunciation Meter that measures your pronunciation versus a native speaker's. This product worked well for me and it was definitely worth the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Travel, June 12, 2003

Michael Jensen (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Learn Portuguese Now! 9.0 (CD-ROM)

Recently I traveled to Portugal for a vacation and wanted to be able to converse some in Portuguese. I bought this program to do so and found it to be very good. I learned a great deal of Portuguese in a short period of time with this software. The conversation practices were my favorite part because I was able to learn many phrases and things to say in various different situations such as ordering dinner at a restuarant or asking for directions (this was very useful on my trip). I also really liked the video and audio features which were superb in every way. Even though I only used this for travel I learned way more than I thought I would so I would recomend this program for any reason- work, travel, education, ect.

Portuguese NOW is an effective way to engage in learning Portuguese. All of the features work well together to improve the many aspects of learning a new language. Overall, I just can't find a way to express how good this program really is for learning Portuguese.
