Well, it doesn’t matter if you’ve slumped into your chair with disappointment and frustration after having tried and failed to learn Portuguese in the past... (In fact, the worse your previous attempts at learning Portuguese have been, the more excited I am that you are here...)
Or if sometimes you feel like you are so busy that you don’t even have time to eat, let alone falar Português (to speak Portuguese), because a few minutes a day is all it takes...
And don’t think you’re too old and that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, because being older can make language learning easier, and stimulating your mind can add years to your life...
Maybe you are tone deaf (like me!), well that doesn’t matter at all, because before you know it you will be ordering brigadeiro and coxinha like a native Portuguese speaker...
Even if you believe that languages don’t stick in your brain, when in fact, with the right system, they can stick like krazy glue...
I’m Jason Oxenham, CEO and co-founder of Rocket Languages. Since 2004, our mission has been to let ordinary people truly master a new language anywhere they want to learn and at any time they wish to do it.
Today I want to invite you to join the 1,212,346 happy, successful, men and women from all 196 countries around the world, who’ve discovered how one amazing, award-winning, system will help them learn Portuguese, when other systems have failed.
The very same system the illustrious PCMag selected as their Editors Choice for language learning, rating it above all the other well-known systems out there...
...and which also took out the prestigious 19th Annual Best Educational Software Award last year.

How is it that some people “get” Portuguese easily and yet others, people like you and me, just get frustrated and lost? Well, I can tell you…
You can bet that they’re not wasting time sitting in a classroom getting a small fraction of the teachers’ time and attention...
They’re not trying to avoid the teachers gaze, hoping they won’t be singled out for embarrassment by having their poor pronunciation exposed in front of the whole class...
They’re not mindlessly parroting the same phrases over and over with their classmates while their Portuguese teacher stalks the room...
And they are definitely not plowing through old school workbooks and grammar texts, trying to work out what’s going on...
The scientific theory behind our courses is the "chunking" process or Miller's Law by Dr. George A. Miller, which is based on the fact that the number of objects an average human can hold in working memory is 7 ± 2. So, simply described, it is the breaking down of big difficult content into small easy parts or "chunks".
Now, while it’s important to have a strong scientific basis for a language learning system, it’s equally important for you to know what works in the real world, from people who have succeeded at mastering one or more languages.
We have spent over 10 years figuring out what works and what doesn’t, we have surveyed polyglots (people who speak multiple languages), researched people who overcame often severe learning difficulties to master a language, used advances in web technology, and much more…
All to develop a ground-breaking system that will get you speaking and understanding the language you've always loved, no matter how old you are, or what your current Portuguese speaking ability is.
Discover how the 7 powerful language acquisition success strategies in Rocket Portuguese will help you learn Portuguese no matter what your background is...
You say that you don’t have time to learn Portuguese?
Well, you may have more time than you may think! Many successful language learners use what appears to be downtime to keep building their knowledge, and you can too...
You can learn Portuguese at your own pace and in your own time, without adding to your already busy schedule by having to attend Portuguese classes!
That’s why a key component of Rocket Portuguese, the Interactive Audio Course, is designed so you can learn Portuguese:
during your commute to work,
while you are at the gym,
walking the dog,
doing the housework,
or anytime that you are on the go...
AND you can use the app that comes with every Rocket Portuguese course.
Listen to and/or download a free Rocket Portuguese introductory Interactive Audio Course track here.
(Note: this is just the audio, with the full Rocket Portuguese course you get a full transcript of the conversation and all other Portuguese words and phrases used in the audio track too)...
It consists of tons of audio lessons, with each track averaging over 25 minutes in length, that are designed to train your ear to Portuguese and prompt you to speak and respond to your tutors, Tereza and Paulo.
Each audio track guides you through an everyday conversation that you are likely to have in Brazil or when speaking to Portuguese people.

A word of warning! If you are completely new to Portuguese then this Portuguese conversation may sound like complete gobbledygook in the beginning. That’s entirely normal, it may take several listens until you can break it down. So download it and use it!
Look what from has to say...
I love Rocket Languages Portuguese. The amount of content is amazing, and the quality is superb. I have been learning Portuguese for a year, using various other expensive and inexpensive applications and books, some of which have been advertised on television, yet felt i was not learning to the best of my abilities. i decided to give rocket languages a try, and was instantly impressed with the trial version. i was so impressed that i immediately purchased the full Portuguese course. I would recommend Rocket Languages to anyone of all ages and backgrounds. Very pleased with my purchase.

A key fact that has been surprisingly often “overlooked” by some other “big name” companies is that you MUST know the mechanics of how Portuguese works for you to truly master Portuguese.
Portuguese, like most languages, has a completely different sentence structure to English, which means that you need to have that structure explained to you, it’s not something that you can pick up by osmosis!
That’s why the Rocket Express Learning System® has in-depth, step by step instructions on how Portuguese works in English, as well as valuable cultural tips with our Language and Culture lessons.
With Rocket Portuguese’s Language & Culture lessons you will discover the mechanics of Portuguese and access audio tracks of thousands of common Portuguese words and phrases that go with the lessons.
I have been trying to learn Portuguese for about 4 years, using Duolingo and Memrise. Through I found that my reading was OK, however everything else was poor, and speaking was non-existant. Having stumbled across Rocket Languages about a month ago my progress has come on leaps and bounds. My Brazilian girlfriend has noticed a huge difference as well, in that I am actually (or at least trying to) speaking in Portuguese to her. I finally have the confidence to start talking in Portuguese.

In most classroom settings the learning that you do is not very efficient, mainly because the pace of the learning is dictated by the teacher and the class size, not you...
And that’s not even considering the low amount of information that is retained. A study by German psychologist, Hermann Ebbinghaus, showed that within an hour most people have forgotten 50% of what they have learned and within 2 days it’s pretty much all gone...
So, it stands to reason that a major key to successfully learning Portuguese is remembering as much as possible of what you have learnt. Particularly being able to remember it when you are under pressure to speak!
That's where the Rocket Reinforcement activities come in. Our scientifically designed algorithm re-displays words and phrases that you are weak on until they stick in your head like glue.
Each Rocket Portuguese lesson has a variety of reinforcement activities, with each one designed to reinforce and enhance your recall in a different way;
What’s more this all ties into your own personalized progress tracking system, keeping you on the path to mastery!
Hear it Say it! improves your understanding of spoken Portuguese. Fantastic for training your ear to Portuguese,
Write it! improves your ability to write/type in Portuguese, and at the same time reinforces the words, phrases and sentence structures, so they become familiar to you...
Know it! All the training in the world won’t help you if someone is talking to you in Portuguese and your mind freezes when it is your turn to speak! That’s why we developed Know it!; our tool for putting you on the spot!
Play it! With our latest learning tool, Play it! you are taking part in the actual conversation from the Interactive Audio Course. Don’t ever toss and turn worrying about opening your mouth and having the wrong words come out. Play it! trains you to say the right thing at the right time!
Quiz! Reinforce your knowledge of the Language lesson concepts with our multi-choice quiz
Having decided to learn Portuguese to impress and become more involved with my Brazilian friends, I chose Rocket languages. It's great! It's Brazilian Portuguese, so exactly what I wanted, and it is so easy to use either on my laptop at home or tablet during lunch at work.
I've tried a little with my friends and they've commented on my good pronunciation - all thanks to Rocket Languages. The way the language is introduced is intuitive and it sticks. Being able to record and listen back to your attempts really helps to improve pronunciation and help to retain vocabulary.
I'm not at the point where I can hold a conversation yet, but given time and Rocket Languages excellent approach I believe I'll be meeting my friends expectations now that they now I'm learning.
Muito obrigado, Rocket Languages. Your product works and I thoroughly recommend it.

One of the tricks that people who have mastered another language swear by is speaking out loud as often as you can. This activates key areas of your brain to further reinforce the new connections that are being made as you learn Portuguese.
NOTE: Due to system requirements Rocket Record will work on Desktop PC, Android and iOS apps only.
The Rocket Express Learning System® has several features that prompt you to speak Portuguese out loud. One of the most impressive and useful is Rocket Record...
You will gain the huge benefits of speaking out loud and also be able to improve your pronunciation and accent with our voice recognition tool, Rocket Record.
Rocket Languages is a great tool for the dedicated student to go at their own pace. It's audios are a unique asset and help you to get an ear for how the locals speak. The steps it moves you in is the perfect order for understanding how the languages works. You don't need to know a thing and rocket languages will take you through to proficiency!

Gone are the days of sitting in a classroom while Mrs X wanders up and down the aisles, getting you to repeat “Eu falo Português” over and over...
Over the last 10 years there have been huge advances in learning techniques, and in language learning methods in particular...
For example did you know this hyperglot method? (A hyperglot is someone who knows 6 or more language fluently, as opposed to the more commonly known term, polyglot, who knows 3-5 languages)
“Shadowing” is a hyperglot method devised by hyperglot Alexander Arguelles. The basic method is this:
download an audio book in the target language
put your headphones on and try to repeat the dialogue simultaneously and verbatim
Essentially, you play a native-speaker dialogue through your headphones and as you hear it, even if you don’t understand a word of it, you repeat the sounds at the same time.
It’s learning another language in a way that’s similar to how you learned your first language – repeating sounds exactly as you hear them. It’s a great way for you to master colloquial speech, and your accent and intonation.
Rocket Portuguese has 25 Advanced Learning Technique articles that will give you learning techniques like this. Discover more tips and tricks that will dramatically cut the amount of time you need to study.
This has been a very good course that I'm taking and I have been learning a lot from this course. I like it that I can learn Portuguese within an 8 week time period and be able to talk to my family in Brazil. I think that I would have no problem talking to the people if I was to take a trip to Brazil myself.

That all depends on how you go about it...
Let’s do a quick comparison and look at some of the alternatives.
Last time I checked, if you decided to buy one of our competitors software packages, like the well-known yellow ones you so often see advertised on the TV, you could be paying upwards of $500, never mind additional lessons that you may need to take to fill the gaps.
Next, if you decided to take a language class, you’d be looking at paying at least $300 - $400 a semester, and that doesn’t include the cost of textbooks and time away from the things you really want to be doing. Not to mention how little personal time you get in a classroom setting...
Alternatively, you might consider hiring a local or online private tutor, but at the bare minimum you would be paying close to $50 an hour. Sure, it’s smart to get one-on-one attention but it will end up being very expensive and there is no guarantee their method of teaching is going to work for you. Who knows, maybe they focus on a learning style that doesn’t gel with the way you grasp language. Plus, you can’t repeat a lesson without paying them again.
Maybe you’ve considered enrolling in a college or university course. No doubt, you’ve probably already seen that tuition could cost you anywhere between $1,500 to $2,000 on the low end, and let’s face it, that means you’re going to be busy trying to get to classes, wading through heavy text-books, and juggling with more than you need in order to speak and understand a language.
And finally, maybe you’ve thought about simply diving in at the deep end and trying to learn through complete immersion in a foreign country. You know, booking a flight, paying for accommodation and flying by the seat of your pants.
Truth is you don’t need to spend a huge amount of money, or years behind a desk to become proficient at daily conversation. Rocket Portuguese provides a simple, quick, and affordable means of achieving mastery at Portuguese, while allowing you to continue doing what you want. It’s that flexible.
So how much is it worth to you, to save all that money and time?
With Rocket Portuguese, it works out to be less than $1 per hour of tuition, that’s unbeatable value in anyone's book.
You can get started on your way to Portuguese mastery in less than 3 minutes. Just select whether you want;
the Rocket Portuguese 20CD Pack (which comes with instant online access) shipped to you free of charge,
or for the best value - instant access to the online version of Rocket Portuguese.
As soon as you have ordered you will be directed to the Rocket Portuguese members' area where you can access all the tools you need to truly master Portuguese.
Remember, your access is 24/7 and is yours for life, including any and all course upgrades... so, once you have it you can come back to it at any time.
Today, with every order, you will get a ton of extra audio and vocab in the form of our Survival Kits.
These tailor-made Survival Kit lessons are specially designed to be fun, flexible and easy to use. No boring vocabulary lists or heavy phrasebooks for you!
Your Survival Kit is made up of targeted Rocket Portuguese Vocab Sessions with interactive audio that focus on essential Portuguese words and phrases and their pronunciation.

That’s right: this is my personal guarantee to you. Here's exactly how it works.
Look, I'm a regular person like you. And I know that it can be difficult to trust people you come across online, especially when we've made some pretty big statements here today.
I've told you that a lot of common methods to learn Portuguese are one-dimensional and not based on the key language acquisition methods that the pro’s use. And I've told you that I've got a system that, if you dedicate 20 minutes a day to, and do what I say, then you're going to master Portuguese no matter what your age or ability.
Jason Oxenham: Rocket Languages Co-founder and CEO

You will be able to speak like a native, to natives, and have them slapping you on the back and saying that you're the one person that understands them.
