Can anyone recommend (or even warn against!) self-study materials for European Portuguese? Everything I've found so far is more concerned with the Brazilian version (e.g. FSI). If possible, I tend to prefer something more intellectual/grammar-based than audiolingual. Thanks for any recommendations!

There's an Assimil course for European Portuguese, don't know if it's available in English.

I highly recomend Ponto de Encontro: Portuguese as a World Language
I began learning portuguese because I lived in Portugal for a while, and didn't use any study materials. When I came back, I wanted a good textbook which would explain some things to me and fill in the holes left by my self-study. Ponto de Encontro was well-reviewed in a number of places, so I thought I'd give it a try. It was excellent. It covers both Brazilian and Continental versions, but it is so clearly laid out that there was no confusion at all. It will get you from knowing zero up to an intermediate level, and could easily be used by either a young person or an adult. I only used the textbook, but it has some workbooks and audio exercises available to. Can't vouch for the quality of those, but I'd think they would be of equal quality. Hope this helps. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thanks both of you: Ponto de Encontro looks very interesting, though hard to get in

Just out of curiosity: Do you have a particular reason to learn European Portuguese as opposed to the Brazilian variant?

:) Yes, I'm moving to Mozambique for the next few years. Their flavour of the language is basically the European version. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
