LEARNING PORTUGUESE

We suggest trying a mix that works for you: listening to translated song lyrics, taking online or CD courses by Pimsleur or Rosetta Stone, a group course or personal tutor and if you don't have money for private lessons, a language exchange with a native Brazilian speaker, making Brazilian friends and hanging with them a lot, and of course, best of all, do language immersion experiences in Brazil. Have fun!
