Summary: poor
Review: For a few days after I bought this CD, I could have fun because I had no knowledge on Portuguese. You can memorize little amount of basic words for sure. But as I progress, I realized that This 2 CD-ROM set lacked the most significant thing in learning a new language. It does not provide any grammar nor greeting frase such as "How are you?" and "I'm fine"

Compared to the 1st CD, the 2nd CD was way too hard. There are so many words that had not been mentioned in the 1st CD. You'll never understand the 2nd CD even when you perfectly mastered the 1st CD. I'm studying Portuguese using other software and books. It has been a month, but I still can't understand the 2nd CD.

Summary: No, No, No, and No
Review: I thought at first the first CD was good for beginners, It tought you basic words and they are easy to remeber. If you understand little of portuguese this would be good to refresh on but if you know portuguese I would say go with something else. It doesnt even teach you how to put sentences together like "And, But, The," or any other words.

Summary: Can someone learn Portuguese with these programs?
Review: My answer is NO. I bought this 2 CD Set several weeks ago and each CD lasted me about 2 days. The first CD teaches you basic vocabulary. It has some games, but they are pretty lame and I got tired of it after a few games.

Second one is a lot more advanced and focused on listening. If you know Spanish, or other romance language, the games will be too easy. In my case, I got most of questions right at first try, learning some new expressions and words. If you don't know romance languages...it will be too hard, since there is no explanation of grammar, what so ever.

Summary: Time to fall asleep!
Review: With this CD the only thing that you will learn is basic vocabulary. The games that it has are so boring that you feel like going to sleep right away...
They are slow, repetitive and show a total lack of creativity. The voices are also pretty monotone.
By the way, the accent is from Portugal, so if you need to learn Brazilian Portuguese, this is not the right tool.
Don't say I didn't warn you!!!
