THANK YOU MARK, Really your video’s are so helpful, I have been watching your video’s for about 4 day’s now and im really starting to pick it up, im now sat in front of the computer, taking notes of every think you say, Maby you can help tho, I dont have a book yet and really want to learn, Is there any good book’s you can recommend ?? Again thank’s, I really do think what your are doing is amazing and really helping people like me who need and want to learn.
It depends how you learn. Some people like phrase books but I feel that phrase books only teach you to memorize and not to actually speak. The better option is to get a basic grammer book that you can use to actually learn how to conjugate verbs and such then you can build your own sentences. If you are learning on your own you are best served getting a language book that is written in English for English speakers to learn portuguese as the books that are all in portuguese do not help if you do not even know the basics. I find them a bit more frustrating at the beginning. So check out your local college/university book store or one of hte bigger book stores by where you live and that may do the trick.
one day i will have subtitles on them, but that is a ways off as i have been busy moving to the US 
and also keep watching the videos
