Unfortunately there are no Portuguese classes that I can take near where I live so I decided to try Pimsleur and I’m on lesson 33 (or the 3rd lesson of Pimsleur’s Brazilian Portuguese 2) and I’m also in the middle of “The Everything Learning Brazilian Portuguese” book which comes with a CD and is written by someone whose first language is Portuguese, and she is also a professor. I’m liking both the book and Pimsleur quite a bit and hopefully I will get chances to speak with my brother’s wife (who is from Brazil) and my brother as well who probably knows much more Portuguese than I do. I’m having fun so far and am getting more confident with pronunciation.
