About this listen
This is lesson 1 (of 9) of the Foundation Portuguese course.
Looking for a beginner language course that fits into your busy lifestyle and gets you speaking a new language in a matter of weeks, not years? Michel Thomas's unique method is designed to overcome the frustrations usually faced by language learners so you can...
- Improve your Portuguese naturally and unforgettably without strain or stress
- Learn from listening and speaking, without the pressure of writing or memorizing
- Build up your Portuguese in manageable steps by thinking out answers for yourself
For 50 years, Michel Thomas worked on decoding languages into their most essential component parts. These 'building blocks' are introduced sequentially so that you reconstruct the language for yourself - to form your own sentences, to say what you want, when you want. Within the very first hour you will be able to generate complete sentences instinctively, having absorbed the language and grammatical structures.
You will learn at your own pace, pausing and responding where necessary, and complete the 8 one-hour lessons in about 20-30 hours. By the end of the Foundation course, you will understand and have the confidence to speak basic Portuguese. You can continue to review and practice with the additional 2-hour Review course before moving on to the next level.
What is next?
This is Lesson 1 of 9 of the Foundation Portuguese course. The next lesson is Lesson 2 of 9 of the Foundation Portuguese course. The full course is broken into eight easy-to-manage one-hour lessons. It is important that you complete the lessons in order. The Method is successful because it builds on the language you learn in each lesson and 'recycles' language taught in earlier lessons. Do not skip and always begin with Lesson 1.
After Foundation, we recommend doing the Intermediate course. Generally, this is the recommended order for the Michel Thomas Method language courses:
- Foundation
- Intermediate

Critic reviews
"The thrill is that you're actually figuring it out on your own. You're engaging with another language, not just parroting it... It's an excellent way to start, and leaves the listener thinking, Hey, Ich kann do dis." (David Sedaris, New Yorker, humorist and author)

wonderful method
I have been listening to Pimsleur for quite a while and gained quite a but from it. This is 100 times better. I have made such quick progress that I am now confident I will actually be able to do this. I love the tea her and the Portuguese guy who speaks really clearly.

Found it tough going
Compared to the other Michel Thomas courses and some of the other resources for Portuguese I found this tough going and it dived into complex stuff very quickly with little chance to catch your breath. No pauses to think or respond properly, quickly got lost and gave up on the rest of the course.
