How I did it: I started by downloading the Pimsleur lessons, making up silly conversations every day using my new skills, and getting them corrected by people I met on orkut and msn. After a while, with the help of google translator, I could chat with people that only knew portuguese. My love for their culture kept me going. Then I moved there for 6 months and it was only then I started understanding and speaking more fluently. I still cant understand books and films fully, but I know that day comes too. My interest in the language has only grown and Im hurrying slowly, without really putting in too much effort.
Lessons & tips: You'll only learn if you really want to.
Resources: Pimsleur lessons, google translator, orkut, msn, love.
