Title: Travessia emphasizes Colloquial Brazilian Portuguese
Product review: Travessia rates high in teaching the everyday Portuguese one hears in Brazil. Grammar points are reinforced by numerous exercises and by the videos that accompany Travessia. The book is intended for a person learning a foreign language for the first time. If one possesses knowledge of other romance languages, it will seem Travessia moves too slowly. If one is looking for a quick transition from another romance language to Portuguese, a solely grammar based Portuguese text may be more appropriate. Travessia also does well with respect to the culture covered throughout the book. Another emphasis of Travessia is the development of pratical language skills (e.g. telephone, hotel, and travel vocabualary/situations).
