Top Notch Program. No need to look further., March 28, 2004

The statement made by the guy from Houston does not make sense. This is a CD program and he says his cassette tape does not work. Hello?!

Reviewer: A reader
I bought this set new, and at least two tapes will not play. I have contacted Pimsleur customer service five times about replacements (as they instruct you to do on their website) and have been ignored every time.

Finally, a usable Portugese language program. I live in Brazil about 3 months of every year, and I speak quasi-fluently. I find that this is an excellent refresher course to keep current. I also learned many expressions and constructions that I was previously unaware of their use.

I cannot tell you how many audio language instruction programs I have bought. I think I have purchased all of them on Amazon[.com] (for Portuguese, at least), and this is the first one I have found useful.

However, unless you have some background, or have listened to Pimsleur I and II, it is NOT for beginners.
