This course is designed to be "worked" at, and as such is not as easy as some of the other language courses available. I had completed the Linguaphone PDQ Portuguese course first, and I am so glad I did! Take Off in Portuguese really builds on the Linguaphone course, and works rather well as a compliment to it. But I am sure I would find Take Off, a really difficult course for complete beginners.
There is not sufficient repition, and time to practise the phrases/expressions you have learned. It is essential that you keep referring to the book that accompanies the cd, and complete the tasks therein, in order to gain complete understanding. It is for this reason that I feel that the course needs "work", rather than just being "absorbed".
I have enjoyed the course as an "add on" and feel as if I have really got to grips with a tourist level of Portuguese, there is so much more content than the Linguaphone course, but I am sure that if I had started off with this course I would have given up long before my holidays in Portugal.
Good luck to anyone learning Portuguese. It might be me, but I find some of the nasal vowels really hard to replicate accurately!

This was a good foundation course. The teachers spoke a little fast for me and I would prefer more repetition as Portuguese is a hard language for us Brits!
Otherwise, good.

This is a great course with "real", rather than just tourist-phrase, Portuguese. European Portuguese (which this is) courses are much harder to come by than Brazilian ones. The fact you can download the whole audio from the web (via a code that comes in a pack) is a plus: I stuck it on my mp3 and took it with me to Portugal last time I went.
I would definitely recommend this course. And it's good value too.

Grammar too simplistic and not enough exercises
This book is good to get you started. The biggest problem for me is the number of exercises - to give an example: unit 8. Read more

Sorry, but not for me
I must have misinterpreted the title as a course for beginners, very practical, the 'take off' suggesting the visitor's flight to the country. Read more
