I'll be traveling to Portugal in September and would like to learn some Portuguese for the trip. Can anyone recommend a good language program? I am a little familiar with Pimsleur, but am looking for recommendations. I appreciate everyone's response.

I would also appreciate recommendations. Sending this to the top.

HI I have a book shop and am located in area of many portuguese. I have a couple contact me and I can give you details so your local shop can order for you.

If you have recommendations, please pass them along.
Thank you

Portugese tapes - books
1. Be sure its European not South American.
2. 3 CD basic - teach yourself portuguese conversation
ISBN 007-1468412 18.95
3. Harraps Portuguese Phase Book
ISBN 007-146749-1 7.95
4. Harper Collings Portuguese Dic.
ISBN 006 273748-1

With these numbers your local shop should be able to order for you if not I always have them in stock as I am in a area of many portuguese dairy farmers
so have the market for them.

There is a 5 cd set from Pimsleur labelled as 'Continental' Portuguese which I found to be helpful. I haven't been to Portugal yet, but I met some Portuguese people who were impressed with pronounciation. Hope this is helpful!

Thank you to all who responded.

September when and where? Are you aware of LDCs? We have onde scheduled for 21st September with David (dwdnyder) + Susan + Kenderina + Emilio.
