Product Description
Book Description
Portuguese is the mother tongue of about 170 million people, mainly in Portugal and the Portuguese islands in the Atlantic, Brazil, and Portugal's former overseas provinces in Africa and Asia. Pimsleur's Brazilian Portuguese teaches the Sao Paolo dialect of Brazilian Portuguese.
Comprehensive Portuguese (Braz.) III includes 30 additional lessons (16 hrs.), plus Readings, which build upon the language skills acquired in Levels I and II. Increased spoken and reading language ability. Level III will increase your vocabulary and grammatical structures and triple your spoken proficiency. Upon completion of a level III, you will be able to:
- participate in most informal and some formal discussions on practical, social, and some semi-professional topics,
- form longer sentences while maintaining the target language syntax,
- be understood even by native speakers unused to dealing with foreigners,
- handle increasingly difficult grammatical structures,
- enjoy fluent conversations with a variety of strangers,
- have a near-native accent, and the subtleties of the language will be apparent in your speech,
- read at the same level at which you speak.
Note: In order for the Pimsleur Method to work correctly, you must first complete the Level I + II language programs before proceeding to the Level III language program.
About the Author
Dr. Paul Pimsleur devoted his life to language teaching and testing and was one of the world’s leading experts in applied linguistics. After years of experience and research, Dr. Pimsleur developed The Pimsleur Method based on two key principles: the Principle of Anticipation and a scientific principle of memory training that he called “Graduated Interval Recall.” This Method has been applied to the many levels and languages of the Pimsleur Programs.

Ainda o melhor sistema para voce estudar,

This review is from: Portuguese (Brazilian) III, Comprehensive: Learn to Speak and Understand Brazilian Portuguese with Pimsleur Language Programs (Audio CD)
Finally, a usable Portugese language program. I live in Brazil about 3 months of every year, and I speak quasi-fluently. I find that this is an excellent refresher course to keep current. I also learned many expressions and constructions that I was previously unaware of their use. I cannot tell you how many audio language instruction programs I have bought. I think I have purchased all of them on Amazon[.com] (for Portuguese, at least), and this is the first one I have found useful. However, unless you have some background, or have listened to Pimsleur I and II, it is NOT for beginners.

This review is from: Portuguese (Brazilian) III, Comprehensive: Learn to Speak and Understand Brazilian Portuguese with Pimsleur Language Programs (Audio CD)
The statement made by the guy from Houston does not make sense. This is a CD program and he says his cassette tape does not work. Hello?!

poor quality tapes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Portuguese (Brazilian) III, Comprehensive: Learn to Speak and Understand Brazilian Portuguese with Pimsleur Language Programs (Audio CD)
I bought this set new, and at least two tapes will not play. I have contacted Pimsleur customer service five times about replacements (as they instruct you to do on their website) and have been ignored every time.A product is worthless if you can't use it.
