Great for beginners true...
But anyone interested in purchasing this should be forewarned: THIS IS PENINSULAR PORTUGUESE, not Brazilian. (Hence my reason for giving it a four star rating, along with the fact that some examples given on the CD, about 2 percent, do not appear in the book). In any case, I purchased both this product and "Portuguese in Ten Minutes a Day". Both are different dialects, though otherwise I'm immensely pleased with how it's going.

Definitely great for Portuguese beginners!
Before I decided to order the Oxford Take Off in Portuguese online, I checked it out at a library.

Boy Meets Girl
Another great book by Joshua Harris.This is a must read for both ladies and gentlemen who are considering dating or courting.

Principles for Relationships
There is not much I can say that has not already been said but Joshua Harris' books were very helpful to me. 'Boy meets Girl' and 'I Kissed dating Goodbye' helped me to put my life into perspective and showed me where I've been going wrong and what I've been doing right in terms of dating and friendship.
Superb Book
Some people may like to consider this book legalistic or even self-righteously written. I stongly disgree with them.

A great way to keep learning while you drive
I love the selection of words presented in this tape.I bought volume 2 as well.My only complaint is that I wish they would spend a bit more time on each word to help solidify it in your memory.I often have to rewinddue to the relatively fast pace.But I guess you can always listen to itagain.The words are presented in a conversational format between twopeople -- as if they were having a discussion over coffee.This helpsmaintain your interest.I recommend this for anyone interested indeveloping or maintaining a good vocabulary (and who spends too much timecommuting to work). ...

Arabic/English and Englsh/Arabic Audio Flash Cards!
These tapes are great!If you are like me, you use flash cards as the most efficient way to master foreign language vocabulary.Wouldn't it be great to have AUDIO FLASH CARDS so that you could learn not only the written form of each word, but the sound as well?That is precisely what Vocabulearn offers.Level 1 includes 2 cassettes, and each side covers a specific part of speech: nouns, adjectives/adverbs, verbs and useful expressions.The first half of each side is English/Arabic. A woman's voice pronounces a word in English followed seconds later by a man's voice pronouncing the corresponding Arabic.The later part of each side is Arabic/English with the man beginning in Arabic, and the woman providing an English translation for each word or phrase.A small pamphlet is included that provides the English/Arabic and Arabic/English words and translations in written form.Both the Arabic script and Arabic transliteration are included.Read more

I learned a thing or two.
As a racecar driver, I was drawn to the stories of building a successful race team.What I discovered was a well-structured text on the values necessary to be successful in any aspect of daily life, and a reminder of what is most important in life.This book certainly has religious tones, as Joe Gibbs thanks God for the opportunities and lessons given to him, but I believe these lessons are also valid in a secular context: Success in your career, finances, team building, personal relationships, moral choices, and health. Not an autobiography, but his game plan for success
To reach the pinnacle of the ultra-competitive NFL (3 Super Bowl victories) is by itself a remarkable feat.To reach the pinnacle of the ultra-competitive NASCAR Winston Cup series (2 championships) is also remarkable. God, Family, Career
Coach will help you get on the right track.No race car required.If you want help getting your life together, here it is!There are no big secrets, no get rich quick schemes.Truthfully many of us already have heard much of what Joe talks about.Unfortunately many of us weren't listening.Read more

The Diaries of Adam & Eve: Translated by Mark Twain
Great buy....just as described....quick delivery!!!

Not some of Twain's good stuff
I love Mark Twain. I hate Christianity. Even Twain can't make me withstand it.
A Wonderful Wedding Gift !!!
This is the 19th century's version of "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus".Delightfully funny, irreverent and very tasteful, "The Diaries of Adam and Eve" is a succinctly written description of the vast differences in world views between men and women.

More Wonderful O'Donohue
I already have a deep appreciation of O'Donohue's work and was once again lifted in spirit by this great poet/thinker. I agree with the previous review in that after one side of the tape you will be a fan of O'Donohue.However, some might find Anam Cara a better introduction to this mostgentle of souls.

interesting and thought provoking
I had heard so much about O'Donohue from friends that I was a bit afraid to listen to this tape (the first work of his I've read/heard), for fear he wouldn't live up to his billing.And I have to confess that it took meawhile to get over his self-conscious Irish brogue--yes, I do realize thathe IS Irish, but especially since his accent occasionally disappears, theskeptic in me has to wonder if he's not taking advantage of the currentYankee fascination with all things Irish and Scottish by broadening hisbrogue as much as possible at strategic moments.But by the end of thefirst side of the first tape, he had won me over.He has a wonderful,gentle way of enlarging one's vision, getting you to look up and away fromendless therapy-induced navel gazing, to acknowledge the wonder of simplyexisting on this planet.It's a good reminder for anyone who is healingfrom a deep wound.(and of course there's far more to what he says thanthat simple synopsis).I highly recommend this tape to anyone who ishealing (from anything); I'd guess it wouldn't make much sense to someonewho isn't. ...

Very basic - but that's not necessarily a bad thing!
Yes, it's very basic. There's 14 lessons divided into small units (or maybe it's the units that are divided into lessons, whatever) and you can easily go through one unit in two days, sometimes even less. There's lots of audio exercises (please, don't settle for buying just the book!) as well as plenty of exercises in the book. Also there's short tests/quizzes for each lesson and four (I think) larger tests every four or maybe five lessons. Completing all the lessons won't make you fluent in Japanese but nobody said you would be either :) I think it's a great -first- book if you're studying on your own or want to do some studying prior to taking a Japanese course in college. If you want to continue I recommend using "Ultimate Japanese: Basic - Intermediate" before buying an intermediate or advanced level book. Ultimate Japanese's also a beginner's book but there's much more grammar and details. Word of warning: if you want to learn kana and kanji from moment one, this is the wrong book for you!

Good but a bit slow
This is a rather slow pace course with emphasis on repeating sentences.Some good points include periodical tests to help check on your progressand good quality recordings of native speakers. Not so good points: tooverbose on the English side in the recordings, too little grammer coveredand no kana. ... Read more
