Rosetta Stone is the way to go!
I had thought on starting learning Portuguese some how, but could't decide what would be the best option among schools, on-line resources, courses, etc. A friend suggested this fantastic method to me and I took the plung to discover that this is really the way to go!
In a few weeks I started communicating with my partners in Brazil and I have had awesome moments by enjoying all the tools available, which are very cool and useful. Thank you Rosetta Stone team !

Good format for learning
Learning a language does not come easily to me, and thus I can repeat the lessons over and over again to reinforce the learning and also for review.

Brazil & Angola (Portuguese Experience)
My Portugese learning experience has been excellent. I started learning about 3 years ago from some friends from Bahia Brazil but when then went back to Brazil I got away from learning. Rosetta Stone has some what rebooted my memory just a little,I would recommend this to anyone who has started to learn a language and has strayed away from it. I live in South Carolina and I know Colombians who are tryin to learn English so recommended the Rosetta Stone to them to build there english speaking abilities. ! Excellent Product!.

Great product!
Rosetta Stone is extremely helpful by incorporating visual and audio elements to the training.

Great & Enjoyable!
I bought this initially because my husband is a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker. It has helped tremendously. Rosetta makes learning simple & to the point but at the same time very effective. Great product for those wanting to pick up a new language!

Love Rosetta Stone
Rosetta Stone is the best learning system I have tried to date. I have used 4 other products, 2 which were audio only and 2 which offered a linear learning system. Neither offered the type of environment which I found in Rosetta Stone. The lessons offer a structured approach to learning, give you most of the tools needed to comprehend the scenes being displayed, and gives you a sense of accomplishment throughout the course. I just completed Level 1, and while I have a long way to go, I can now listen to Brazilian Radio or Television and comprehend some of the topics being discussed. More importantly I now have the willingness to continue in my language learning endeavor. I don't want to forget one of the most important pieces, the online Studio sessions. I've attended 4 total Studio sessions, one of which I had to leave early since it was too advanced for me at the time. The instructors ,even in the session I left, were great, not pushy or overly expectant, and focused on the language being spoken and helping the students to speak appropriately in their new language. These sessions with a native speaker really are invaluable from my perspective, if somewhat frightening! I can't say enough about Rosetta Stone, I have purchased additional online time, since I also find excellent value in the iPad and iPhone apps. Just a great all-around language learning system, Thanks Rosetta Stone!

Very Solid Language Program
I decided to try Rosetta Stone after I realized that I needed another language in my arsenal for my professional career. I'm glad I tried it, as I feel confident that I'm on my way to learning the language and retaining this knowledge.
I'm a fluent English and Spanish speaker and proficient at basic German. I learned German using traditional learning methods - going to class, doing homework, etc -, but I find that this method makes it hard to retain the skills learned, thus diminishing the return on investment- both effort and financial.
Rosetta Ston'es method makes it easy to remember and improve on skills every time I engage in a session. I'm confident that visual and non-visual learners will have the same results with the method, as the lessons' combination of listening and speaking exercises combined with visual anchoring enables the student to quickly recall words. My only feedback would be to improve the keyboard for writing; sometimes it's hard to find the right punctuation characters.

Easy to use
The language learning piece is excellent but the setup and service is a bit frustrating. But overall i would highly recommend it.

Great Program
I thought this program would require a greater effort, but after 3 weeks of using it I've realized the program is designed in a way you learn without the normal stress of learning a language, great program!

My Portuguese Experience
I have only started my second Lesson (Unit 2) of Portuguese (Brazil), but have seen my learning speed increase exponentially. I love Portuguese and have wanted to learn the language recreationally for months. The techniques and repetitions of Rosetta Stone have opened my eyes to a new style if learning. I highly reccommend using Rosetta Stone to anyone who wants to learn a new language. I will be purchasing more languages from Rosetta Stone once I have completed the Portuguese (Brazil) lesson. Thanks Rosetta Stone!!

Amazing Product
At first I was a little worried about learning another language, especially in a non-classroom setting. I was afraid I wouldn't retain any of the knowledge because I wasn't being forced to do homework, or attend a class on a regular basis.
After 1 week with Rosetta Stone, it finally hit me - i was ACTUALLY learning a new language! Not only was I remembering each lesson, but I felt comfortable with what I was learning. Three months later, I'm still thrilled with what I've learned so far and I look forward to every lesson.

Very good tool for asian
I am a Mandarin Chinese native speaker, and I have no experience of European languages AT ALL. But this tool really helps me get familiar of the pronunciation of Portuguese in a very natural way. Most important, Rosetta Stone brings lots of fun and interactions of learning languages. I am so happy to spend 10~30 mins to practice it everyday. As long as I enjoy learning it, I am willing to spend time to practice it. And I believe there is no shortcut for learning a language, only the cliche 'Practice makes perfect'.

I've used Rosetta Stone for Italian and Portuguese. Using Rosetta Stone made me much more comfortable with speaking the language. I have always been comfortable with the grammar and reading of languages but lacked the confidence to go and speak. After just a couple weeks of using Rosetta Stone, i found myself speaking without needing to stop and think about every word. Even though sometimes Rosetta Stone can seem slow and tedious it really works. The first time I used Rosetta Stone was learning Italian, I was living in Ticino, the Italian speaking canton of Switzerland. I had taken some basic Italian classes so i could have basic understanding, but i really couldn't have a conversation. I knew Rosetta Stone worked when after 2-3 weeks going through the lessons i was in line at the grocery store and the woman behind me asked me a question, without hesitation I started talking to her in Italian. There were no 'ummms', long pauses or confused looks, I answered her question chatted for a minute before I paid for my groceries. As I was walking home I realized I had just had my first conversations in Italian and didn't even realize it, it had just flowed.

Having fun
I have enjoyed the program. I can go fast or slow. I love been able to review the lessons. I was surprised with the voice matching to I could work on my pitch for each word.
Well worth the price and time.

Learning was never so FUN!
I wanted to learn Portuguese, but was always tentative to buy a computer-based program like Rosetta... I don't know why I waited so long! Rosetta Stone has proven very effective in expanding my knowledge of the language, and I can even chat with native speakers!! I am even able to use it at work! All said, I cannot recommend this program enough! Thanks Rosetta!

The best foreign language solution
I purchased Rosetta Stone two months before my first trip to Sao Paulo (Brazil) and invested just about one hour per day at my PC and used the Audio CDs and iPhone companion any time I drove to and from the office. The investment made a huge difference in my business trip. I highly recommend Rosetta Stone as an easy and intuitive way to learn any language. It can't get any easier than that!

Exceptionaly Impressive Program
This proram makes it extremely easy to learn a new language. I was shocked to see how easy it was to learn new words in a new language. Especially impresive was how verbs were integrated at the very beginning of the program. Hearing, reading and writing are all integrated as soon as you begin the program. That makes Totale far and away the best language program out there.
April 7, 2011
Good job!
I really like the way that the program gives you three ways to learn all the time: seeing photos, seeing words in writing, and hearing the language. I have also found that all the teachers in the studio sessions are excellent.
My only suggestion for improvement is to have more advanced listening games (perhaps current events readings with text that we can read to boost vocabulary), and more advanced levels for the Brazilian Portuguese.

Learning Portuguese
I recently starting practicing capoeira (a brazilian martial art) and found myself immersed in Brazilian culture and the Portuguese language. Already knowing Spanish is a great help in learning Portuguese. As a language teacher myself, I can say that the setup of Rosetta Stone is extremely helpful in learning language. Including reading, writing, speaking and listening sections (although, I love the writing sections...there are very few) Also, review activities allow for continued practice and reinforcement. I LOVE the addition of interacting with native speakers in Rosetta Studio. You are in a small class of 1-4 students with a native speaker of Portuguese for 50 mins! It's a great opportunity to practice what you've learned and the activities are always right at your level. However, the Rosetta World section is a little disappointing because there are rarely people to play with in Duo mode and I have NEVER seen anyone in Simbio mode.
Overall-it's a great product. I am currently in Level 2 of Portuguese and I can tell that my comprehension of spoken Portuguese is already getting better. I can even say a few things in conversation with my new friends in capoeira!

My quest
I'm in love with South America. I have visited Peru and Argentina, and the next country on my agenda is Brazil. I know from past experience that the ability to speak just basic words in the country that one's visit means much to the native country folks. They feel somewhat motivated if not obligated to help if you can say in their native language "good morning, or good evening, and/ or please".
Wanting the goodwill of the country folks prompted me to purchase R.S.
So I'm well on my way to learning Brazillian Portuguese, which I understand is different from European Portuguese.
It is not easy, so what I do is take my time, and keep on repeating what I'm learning. At work there is a native Portuguese with whom I practice what I learn. He sometimes laughs at my enunication and he sometimes offers tips, and when he sees me he greets me in Portuguese, but he is always wanting to help. Which goes back to what I say, try, and you shall receive.
So my quest continues, to learn this fascinating language and to visit this fascinating country. And to speak what I have learned, and maybe, develop some lifetime friendships.
Maybe at the end of this journey, the real reward is that I can continue to develop as a person, and that learning does not stop at the age of 64. It does energize me to learn.

Good Product
Going to a trade-show soon and this is definitely a good bet to get some lessons in on my Portuguese before going!

So glad I finally did it!
My Brazilian Fiance and I have been together for 5 years, and although I can understand a lot of it thanks to my Spanish Language backround, I have trouble and lack of confidence speaking Portuguese. I am SO GLAD I finally bought the 3-series. I was able to speak to his family at our wedding and we even honeymooned in Portugal, which although it's different, helped tremendously. As a visual learner, this program is perfect. DON'T WAIT!

Portuguese (Brazilian)
I have been doing the Rosetta Stone in Portuguese (Brazil) for the last month and a half every day. I am confident now that I could visit Brazil and get along just fine. The stories and games with the TotalE package really help. My friend's parents are flying in from Brazil this week and I look forward to speaking with them. Although the Dad is fluent in English, the mother hardly speaks any at all. Since beginning the Rosetta Stone I have gone on Brazilian websites just to read. I would say most of the time I can get the gist of what they are saying.

Best learning system
I am enjoying Rosetta Stone so much that I look forward to the next lesson every day.
It is a logical and easy way to learn a different language and, to be honest, I think is the best self-study method in the market.
Congratulations!

best investment I ever made
We as family are getting so much from rosetta stone. I would strongly recommend this product for young children also.

From an educator's perspective
I was introduced to this program through work. I teach middle school English, and we use the English program with our English language learners. After playing with the program at school and having used other programs to learn other languages, I decided to give Rosetta Stone a try. I am delighted with the results so far. True, I am still in the honey moon phase, but when I play with the program (and it really is like play), I don't want to stop.

Brazilian Portuguese
I was very skeptical about using an automated product to try to learn a new language based on my past experience with other language learning products. Although, I have been pleasantly surprised how well this program works in comparison to other programs I have tried in the past. My retention rate with this software is 10 times greater than it has ever been, prior to using Rosetta Stone. I will finally be able to communicate with my in-laws! Thank you Rosetta!
