How to learn Brazilian (Portuguese)
It made me
powerful
 "Eye opening!"
How I did it: I just dedicated 15-20 minutes a day -- CONSISTENTLY, and taught myself the language. I briefly had a tutor and that helped a lot -- especially straightening me out on the questions that build-up as a result of the self-study process. Lessons & tips: A little a day - every day, worked for me. Oh and: take a trip or 3 to Brazil to get in some real practice! Resources: I tried everything - pimsleur, rosetta stone etc (mostly crap). What really helped me get started was the downloadable ipod lessons from Semantica (www.semantica.us)

Super content.
How I did it: The best way to learn a language is through exposure. It is possible to do this even if you don't live in a country where the language you want to learn is spoken. You just need to listen to and read the language, regardless of whether you understand. You will eventually understand and start to speak. There no need wasting time with grammar.I love the Portuguese language. It's my favorite so far really. Brazil is a beautiful country, with… Read how I did it…

Greencard and portuguese
1 month ago
Dont get offended, people.
I’d love to live again in the US.
I can also help you with your Portuguese. Let me know if there is any job for me in the US ;)
Basically, I´d like to marry an American man in order to get the green card and be able to both live and work in the USA. I am Brazilian, educated, fluent English but like all others, blocked by immigration papers and requirements. It has become harder and harder to find a company who would like to sponsor immigration though working visa, so I am up for marriage and the other part would have the Brazilian passport too.

I am a real person, by the way… smiles. I did not put my picture up because if I want not to be caught and convince immigration my marriage is legal, I dont want to clearly connect myself to this profile :)
I could marr a woman too. If You can help me having a green card or interested in Brazilian citizenship, let me know.
I´m not looking forward to worsening the USA. I´m no stereotypically negative immigrant at all !
Well, I was born here in the USA, but my fathers side of the family is Brazilian. I’d like to learn Portuguese so that, when I go to Brazil, I’ll be able to communicate with my family. Willing to teach English if anyone wants to help me on my “journey” :)

Pimsleur and the ...for dummies.
8 months ago
I live in the Bay Area, and have not been able to find ANYWHERE to learn or practice Brazilian Portuguese. The best I have found so far, are the Pimsleur Cd’s. I put them on my Ipod and listen on the way to work. It is a great program, but I’d learn faster if I had someone to converse with. That way I would learn to communicate in the language, instead of just learning and memorizing words and phrases…

My sister married a Brazilian guy and I really love to hear him talk. His English is also really bad and not getting better. So, I want to learn Portuguese. What a great sis-in-law would I be?!

Pimsleur and a book w/ CD
12 months ago
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.
