Customer Review: Having already purchased the 501 series for Spanish and French, I had no other resource in mind when beginning my studies in the original, European Portuguese. This book has added benefits as it specifies if a verb descended from the original language or if it developed in the former Portuguese... more info
Customer Review: I teach an ESL class to immigrants and use this book constantly. My students like this book becuz of the pictures, conversation ideas at the bottom and translations in several languages. I've had to order books (in Spanish, Chinese, Korean) for my students who want their own copies. We love this... more info
Customer Review: I am a certified lover of foreign languages but a speaker of none (at least fluently). I have always wanted to learn Portuguese, but the books were difficult to understand. When I saw this one, I went to the publisher's website to check it out. It looked like a normal language book that would be... more info

Customer Review: Since Brazilian Portugese is one of the two major spoken languages in the southern hemisphere the purchase of the text was a no brainer for me. Having studied Spanish in high school and thru self-study with the aid of such super products as the Penton Overseas products I decided to look into... more info
Customer Review: I began my Portuguese study with another course that was horrible; this one is a vast improvement. It is very straightforward and easy to follow. Also, it teaches both Brazilian and European Portuguese. While it is true that this course does not always signal whether the dialogue being spoken is... more info
Customer Review: Portuguese for Dummies would be adequate to assist any one to travel in Brazil without major communication problems. Being a professional language teacher, and a native Brazilian, I found some minor errors, such as wrong accent marks, or not quite right idiomatic expressions. The publishers should... more info
