I used "Living Language Continental Portuguese" years ago (on cassette). I seem to to do better with PracticePortuguese.com. I did learn from the cassettes. I seemed to learn more from PracticePortuguese.com. BUT, that's the way I learn (and yes, the Practice Portuguese guys hear from me). So try them all and pick the one that "grabs" you. That is the one that will fit your learning style and where you will learn the most. Cheri On Sep 17, 2017 6:39 PM, "Liz Migliori" <lizmi...@gmail.com> wrote:
