My wife used the book and cd combo as shown in my bookstore link and she found it very effective. I used an online thing called Before You Know It (BYKI) which drums words and phrases into you until you know them which is really good and helps you to memorise spellings as well. We still have a LONG way to go though :-) B [WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us '0 which is not a hashcash value. Hi and welcome to the blog.

People seem to be genuinely impressed when an English speaker attempts Portuguese. Although I speak the language fluently, I do have a little bit of an accent (something that my relatives find humourous--all in good fun of course!) I've been trying to teach my husband to speak Portuguese & his few attempts have been met with a lot of encouragement. Did you ever use the language programmes (CDs etc) & have you found them to be effective? [WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us '0 which is not a hashcash value.

What a great site. We are in the process of packing ahead of our permanent move to Carvoeiro – following 20 years as visitors.

All the fears and uncertainties are gradually eroding and it’s great to read of others experiences – keep them coming.

This is great web! The reason why I am writing you is that we have moved to Portugal recently too. Just 4 weeks ago. We are living close to Lagos and we also work through internet. We know Tavira pretty well - it is beautiful city, good choice! Because it seems from your page that you and us have pretty much in common, including many opinions on life, I wanted to make a suggestion of possible meeting. What would you think about such a suggestion? We would love to meet people like you in person. But, of yourse, if you preffer privacy and are not interested, we understand too! We will be looking forward to any your reply, ate logo, Tomas and Martina tomas@nesnidal-financnik.cz Hello Ben,
