Very helpful.......2007-05-24
I picked up Conversational Brazilian Portuguese: Learn to Speak and Understand Portuguese with Pimsleur Language Programs (Simon & Schuster's Pimsleur), in audio and learned a lot. It helps to have some spanish lessons when you were young. This book was a nice addition to my base, and it came in handy more than a few times once I was in Brazil.
Extremely Helpful.......2006-08-21
I just returned from a trip to Brazil, and though I know some Spanish, I had no previous exposure to Portuguese. This phrasebook proved invaluable in helping me bridge the gap, and contributed to me having an even better time, and blending in better with the locals.
Passable.......2006-03-14
Beware of serious pronunciation errors in this book. Although it was overall pretty useful, there were some glaring errors in areas where there likely shouldn't have been. Case in point, the phonetic pronunciation for tchau (goodbye) in the book is spelled out as "tee-show." At least in Bahia, it was pronounced by the locals just like the Italian "ciao." The word "vinte" (twenty) is spelled out "veeng-te" in the book, while again everyone we encountered in Bahia pronounced it "veen-chay." I don't know if these are regional differences in Brazilian Portuguese, but if so, they need to at least be addressed in the book. Take care when using the phrasebook to listen to the local speakers as well.
Best Brazilian Portuguese phrase book I've found!.......2006-03-03
I'm just a lonely writer wanna-be in the heart of the middle of nowhere, so what do I choose to write -- a period piece of Brazil. I can't even begin to praise this book enough. Not only do I get phrases and words, but there are all sorts of little historical and cultural details.
I will probably never travel to Brazil, but this little book is allowing my imagination to have a trip!

Great pocket guide to give you a basic working knowledge of the language.

Customer Reviews:
Not good for beginners.......2006-05-31
This CD is not beneficial for beginners. The portuguese is spoken too fast to comprehend correct pronunciation. It would have been much better if the phrases were spoken slower for the student to learn how to say it correctly and then at the normal speed. I gave the CD 3 stars because it came with a lonely planet travel dictionary that I do find beneficial.
