Resumen del Editor

This is the Lesson Review (9 of 9) of the Foundation Portuguese course.

Looking for a beginner language course that fits into your busy lifestyle and gets you speaking a new language in a matter of weeks, not years? Michel Thomas's unique method is designed to overcome the frustrations usually faced by language learners so you can...

• Improve your Portuguese naturally and unforgettably without strain or stress
• Learn from listening and speaking, without the pressure of writing or memorizing
• Build up your Portuguese in manageable steps by thinking out answers for yourself

For 50 years, Michel Thomas worked on decoding languages into their most essential component parts. These 'building blocks' are introduced sequentially so that you reconstruct the language for yourself - to form your own sentences, to say what you want, when you want. Within the very first hour you will be able to generate complete sentences instinctively, having absorbed the language and grammatical structures.

You will learn at your own pace, pausing and responding where necessary, and complete the 8 one-hour lessons in about 20-30 hours. By the end of the Foundation course, you will understand and have the confidence to speak basic Portuguese. You can continue to review and practice with the additional 2-hour Review course before moving on to the next level.

What is next?

This is the Lesson Review (9 of 9) of the Foundation Portuguese course. The full course is broken into eight easy-to-manage one-hour lessons. It is important that you complete the lessons in order. The Method is successful because it builds on the language you learn in each lesson and 'recycles' language taught in earlier lessons. Do not skip and always begin with Lesson 1.

After Foundation, we recommend doing the Intermediate course. Generally, this is the recommended order for the Michel Thomas Method language courses:

1. Foundation
2. Intermediate

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The thrill is that you're actually figuring it out on your own. You're engaging with another language, not just parroting it... It's an excellent way to start, and leaves the listener thinking, Hey, Ich kann do dis." (David Sedaris, New Yorker, humorist and author)

Sound Clips Missing!

This is simply a call and response using the many words and expressions asked during lessons 1- 8. It is a good review but is not particularly engaging. I have noticed several instances where the response does not match the question precisely, and there are a few times when there is no response at all. This lesson appears to have been thrown together quickly with poor editing. Despite this, I appreciate how efficiently it allows me to practice a lot of material in a short time.
