Talk Now! Learn Brazilian - Beginning Level review:
3 stars (Good but could be better) - The program is very useful & easy to use. It is only suppose to be a quick overview & not a complete course. What they give you is good; however, I kept coming up with words I wish they had included. It's divided into specialized groups...First words, numbers, food, shopping, time, colors, countries, body. I didn't need countries or body at all. I'm not going to have a conversation with someone & recite all the countries I can say in Brazilian, same goes with parts of my body. Maybe a few body parts could have been included in other sections...but besides "take my hand", "I'm touched in the head", or "my ear aches" (you get the idea) I'm not going to be discussing details with anyone. As a first time traveler there I felt I wanted to know many words & phrases that weren't included. Restaurant, What's your name?, My name is..., address, ocean, mountain. Fish was included but beef, pork, and chicken weren't. Numbers only went to 20. I think 30-100 at least would have been useful. I still would recommend this as an easy, helpful beginning. It needs to be supplemented with other information to be better.
