I have bought 3 tape programs but this is the best, January 5, 2003

go with the full length version and only take this abridged version as a second option. also, dont buy the version 1 unless you have zero knowledge of portuguese. even if you manage to say "todo bem", then buy the version two. you wont learn any portuguese writing from this program but the goal is conversational portuguese. this is by far the most effective program i have used. yes, i used three other programs and even hire a personal tutor. all the other programs either too focus on writing or too limited in scope - you may be able to ask for price, direction, to order food, but to pick up chicks? you definitely will need this program. again, i am referring to the full length version II (if its still available in the market).
highly recommended for any travelers with a need to use portuguese to function in brasil.
