Customer Review: This book consists mainly of grammar theory and lists of examples to illustrate the grammar points. The audio is also on grammar.

Customer Review: I thought this book was very good. It gave each phrase in portuguese, english and written out the way that you would pronounce it.

Customer Review: My budget (like many others) is extremely tight and I had to take Portuguese 101-102 at school this semester.
