Customer Review: This book consists mainly of grammar theory and lists of examples to illustrate the grammar points. The audio is also on grammar. Here and there you will come across the occasional list of vocabulary like 'countries and nationalities' or 'professions and occupations'. Then you go back to grammar.... more info
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. I bought another portuguese book that did not have the pronunciations, and will never do so again if I can help it. In my opinion the english/portuguese dictionaries did... more info

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