Discover Portuguese is taught using the Discover Method, making it the right choice for students of any native language having little or no Portuguese background. It incorporates the vocabulary and pronunciation needed to comprehend Portuguese in an everyday environment. Using video-based instruction, lessons are taught using the UNIVERSAL INTERACTION TECHNIQUE and the Discovery method – engaging students with quick vocabulary lessons followed by real-life conversations that build step-by-step to incorporate the most common words and phrases. The vocabulary and phrasing becomes more complex as the student progresses, but never reaches the overwhelming point. Students are not required to translate the language, rather they learn by associating words and phrases to meaning in the new language like a native speaker.
