🇵🇹 Not really European Portuguese...

Multiple times there are sentences that use "Voce" instead of "Tu" as the second-person singular. In Portugal, people don't use it. They think it is highly inappropriate to use "Voce" to speak to someone even informally. Be careful. My language teacher in Lisbon told me that last month. "Voce" is only used in Brazilian Portuguese and it is not ok to speak that way in Portugal. Please don't only rely on this material to speak real European Portuguese in Portugual ! Otherwise the material helps to grasp the pronunciation and that's why I'm still learning with it.

only a few chapters. insufficient content

A good way to learn but keep in mind you need at least 5 of these to get by. they sell very little in each audio book.

Huge opportunity to replace this book on the market

This is the worst book on this topic possible. You will only learn phrases by rote memorization, no structure or tricks to understand links to English. In all, for the entire book there are only about 5 phrases in total but the speaker spends the entire book repeating the same ones. The only saving grace is that because it’s an audiobook, you can capture the pronunciation correctly.

Great way to learn a language

Any additional comments?

This is my first time using audible for language learning purposes and I am very pleased. I am a visual learner but the pace and repetition made it possible for me to still learn some Portuguese. There were a few times I had to rewind and listen to certain phrases again but I imagine this is normal. It is literally a foreign language. I would highly recommend this program. Each lesson is about 30 min and they recommend you only do one a day. They do a good job recalling words and phrases in the next lesson instead of overwhelming you with new material each time. Its a productive way to use your morning commute time. Give it a try!

Confusing

The author believes in an all-aural method of language acquisition. I have trouble with that approach without a teacher or voice recognition, since there’s no way to know if my pronunciation is correct or understandable. Also I don’t know where one word ends and the next begins. Finally, I want to learn to read and write Portuguese, not just speak it, so the all-aural method does not help there. I learn best using both my eyes and my ears. Better than nothing, I suppose, but I don’t buy the author’s self-serving boasting.

easy to follow

Love it, I think I want to focus on Brazilian Portuguese. with a smart phone and head phones, you can learn anywhere.

First encounter

I speak 3 foreign languages well. And I am going to speak Portuguese fluently in a relatively short time. Great course

Awesome European Portuguese Audiobook

The audiobook takes listeners on a fantastically constructed educational excursion. The book is interactive, allowing speakers of any level to quickly understand basic conversational elements in real life situations that assist in better memory acquisition.

The content is not too long allowing the listeners to set aside time each day towards mastering the language. All in all a great listen, powerfully delivered with strong content.

muito bem!

it's helping a big help, especially with pronunciation. The lessons are just the right length for daily repetition and practice.

very well designed lessons

all lessons were very easy to understand and learn. The repetition helps to memorize without even noticing.
