Linguaphone PortugueseThe current generation of Linguaphone Portuguese
“… is written in the Portuguese of educated people throughout the Portuguese-speaking world. The accent and pronunciation are mainly those of Portugal, but there are also some speakers of Brazilian Portuguese. There are strong regional differences in the Portuguese spoken in the various parts of Brazil and the Brazilian speakers in your course speak the Portuguese of Rio de Janeiro.” You can consult my description of course under the “General Linguaphone Discussion” discussion thread.

He would have searched the publisher’s website by selecting “Anglais” to see which languages are covered and then by selecting “Brésilien” and by launching the search.

Assimil – Brazilian Portuguesehttp://fr.assimil.com/methodes?base_language=1&learn_language=83&level=DLI Portuguese Basic & FSI Portuguese ProgrammaticIn reply to the second part of your question, there two “mammoth” Brazilian courses that are
freely-available on the Yojik website: the DLI Portuguese Basic course and the FSI Portuguese Programmatic course. Both are truly excellent courses for building a foundation in this language. The DLI course employs the “audio-lingual method” of instruction (sentence-pattern drills until you’re blue in the face). The FSI course, too, was designed as an audio-lingual course, but was revised to permit self-instruction using programmed-learning features. Nevertheless, it retains the sentence-pattern drills of the first edition.
