I went first through Pimsleur Brasilian Portuguese, then Assimil le Brésilien sans peine. Only then did I use Le portugais sans peine, BUT: While repeating /shadowing, i was sticking to the Brasilian pronunciation as if I were a Brasilian talking to a POrtuguese. ANd whenever I noticed a POrtugal Portuguese form I uttered the Brasilian equivalent. This , I find, increases vocabulary and fluency. In addition, it primes to the understanding of the more difficult to understand Portugal Portuguese. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I wanted to revive this old thread to ask if anyone else has used the newest version of
the Assimil bresilien program. I guess I'm in the minority of people who really diskliked the 1985 version (I think that's the year). I saw an Assimil Spanish version from around the same time that is very different from the latest Spanish one, and I much prefer the newest one. It has funnier and more interesting dialogues; the older version felt stilted and dry. This is the same complaint I had about the Portuguese program. Could anyone who has the newest Portuguese course give some examples of the opening dialogues, since it seems impossible to find an online preview? I want to get an idea to see if it's worth recommending to a friend of mine. Thanks a lot. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I have both most recent Brazil Portuguese Assimil's as well as the European Portuguese
Assimil. All three look very good from flipping through them, I'll give a full assessment latter this year. As for redundancy, different authors, different decades and different continents...practice makes perfect the I am sure at the end of the day the three will greatly complement each other. At the very least the 3 represent hours of shadowing and a ton of idioms. Edited by LatinoBoy84 on 06 March 2012 at 3:16am 1 person has voted this message useful |
