Publisher's Synopsis
Designed for those who want to speak basic Portuguese immediately, or those who have tried other courses without success, this course uses a carefully structured method that targets only the most important vocabulary and grammar to get you speaking straight away. The special learning programme takes only 35 minutes a day for six weeks and has fewer than 400 words for you to learn.;The grammar has been pared down to the "bare bones" and is explained in a no-nonsense way in simple English so you will not get bogged down by unnecessarily complicated structures that you will not need.;There is lots of practice for you as you work through the course and by using the flashcards provided at the end of the book and the memorizing the sentences in the "learn it by heart" sections, you should find that you are speaking in whole sentences and with confidence right from the start. Listening material and simplified rules of pronunciation are included on the accompanying CD.
