Brief Description: Developed by the Foreign Service Institute for teaching diplomatic personnel, this book and cassette course is perfect for independent or small group study. FSI courses are thorough, comprehensive, and widely regarded as the best available. You learn easily from the Portuguese Programmatic Course by imitating and repeating the dialogues of natural, everyday conversations recorded on the cassettes by native speakers. A variety of drills and exercises help you develop fluency while guiding you to the correct intonation and pronunciation. At the end of each lesson unit in volume 1 is a brief "culture capsule", recorded in English, that provides insight into the language usage and customs of Brazilian Portuguese. Volume 2 will extend your vocabulary and facility in more complex dialogues.
Supporting languages: Brazilian Portuguese, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazilian)
Platform supported: Audio Cassette, Printed Matter
System requirements: Audio Cassette Player
Foreign Service Institute courses were designed for diplomats and all serious language learners. If you need to learn a language thoroughly and quickly, nothing beats these courses. Unlike the audio-only Pimsleur courses, each FSI course comes with a complete textbook that teaches either transliterated (romanized) or traditional written language. Unlike the bare bones government-supplied courses, our courses are packaged in convenient binders to protect the tapes from loss or damage.

Most FSI courses use the Programmatic or Basic methodologies which teach the student all the skills necessary to build a strong language foundation. The student sets the pace of the learning process and new material is presented in "frames", one idea at a time. FSI Basic courses also present all essential grammar of a spoken language, samples of speech, explanations of basic language structure, and a variety of practical exercises. Students will be able to converse easily with native speakers and understand native texts upon completion of the course.

Each FSI course comes packaged with cassettes in a binder and a printed textbook with the dialogs from the cassettes and extra activities.
