BUILD A VOCABULARY FIRST
Language teachers and linguists have long known that you need a strong vocabulary before you tackle complicated grammar rules or conversation. And knowing just a few Portuguese survival words will go a long way in your travels.
LANGUAGE TOOL #1: TWO PORTABLE PORTUGUESE DVDs
Native Portuguese speakers (male and female) will teach you over 600 Portuguese words and phrases. You'll first see and hear the word in English and then you'll be given two chances to hear and learn the word in Portuguese. Skip a word you know or repeat it as many times as you'd like. Learn at your own pace.
LANGUAGE TOOL #2 - SPEAKMORE SOFTWARE
SpeakMore Portuguese software updates the time-tested method of flash card learning to the internet age. With SpeakMore Portuguese, you are just four simple steps away from fully comprehending over 600 commonly used words and phrases.
1. Preview It: See and hear the Portuguese words and phrases as you flip your way through the cards.
2. Recognize It: See the word in Portuguese. Speak or type the word in English. In no time at all, you'll know how to read and write all the words.
3. Produce It: Now you start to really learn Portuguese. See the English word and say or type the word in Portuguese until the definition comes to you naturally. Repeat each word as many times as you'd like.
4. Test Yourself: Once you're confident that you know all the words in a category, take a test. You can take a written test, a pronunciation test, or combine them.
SpeakMore Portuguese even learns along with you. If you struggle with a word, SpeakMore Portuguese knows to show you that word more often. If you've mastered a simple one, then SpeakMore Portuguese will only show you that word occasionally. You learn at the right pace for you.
