Hello, I just signed up for the full membership. I think it is absolutely fantastic as I have struggled to stay motivated with Pimsleur and Rosetta Stone courses. I can tell that there is a lot of experience and expertise in the design of your podcasts and I am learning about Brasil in the process as well.
Thanks Again,
Reid S.

I love your course. I tried three other Portuguese programs, including Rosetta Stone - You are by far the best - I love that your podcasts are so practical, come in nice, easy bites and build on each other so beautifully. The other programs I tried were boring, seemed like a real chore - yours are fun and I look forward to each one.
Thanks so very much for helping me learn this beautiful language!
