 Portugues Dinamico Seculo 21 May 18, 2007
This publication is just what I needed to begin learning the language. The illustrations, along with the topic Q&A, are better learning tool than listining to repetitive phrases on a CD. Rather than just speaking it, using this book will also help me learn to read and write the language.

I am a student of Brazilian Portuguese. I have loved the language for years and it was not until about four years ago that I had the opportunity of taking my first lesson. In class, I learned from two or three different text books. They were all right but I always felt something was lacking. I stopped taking lessons for a couple of years and started again a little over a year ago. It was then that I was introduced to Portugues Dinamico Seculo 21. What a difference this book makes. Using this text book made it much easier for me to learn certain words and verbs that had completely eluded me the first time around. The book is very well organized, light and fun to use. As it tells the story of a U.S. family that is moving temporarily to Brazil due the father's business, it takes you by the hand and teaches not only the language, but the customs, a little bit of the history of Brazil, and it gives you a glimpse of Brazilian life. At the beginning, it starts with very easy words in Portuguese and pictures to depict their meaning--instead of the translation to English. The book has very few translations to English, which forces you to learn faster. It gently takes you through the articles and verbs without overwhelming you as it teaches you vocabulary used in every day life such as introductions, small conversation, foods, clothing, parts of the body, days of the week, months of the year, numbers, all in small doses. It even has two or three recipes for some delicious-sounding Brazilian dishes. There are several exercises in each lesson to practice what you learned. Almost at the end it has Brazilian business vocabulary and tips on how to write a business letter. Pretty soon, you are speaking in long sentences. I would highly recommend this book to teachers of the Portuguese language and their students that, like me, just love the language or those students that are planning on going to Brazil or even Portugal on a vacation or on business.
