Series 2: intermediate/advanced dialogs

What’s in the new series?
14 new dialogs + lesson + vocab of real-life situations. You will learn how Brazilian Portuguese really is.

What is the level?
These are much more advanced dialogs than the first series and only for those are comfortable with the Series 1 material. The pacing and pronunciation in these scenes is real. Every line is re-read by the narrator with subtitles, and there are pauses in the lessons to focus and practice on specific grammar points.

What about for an “advanced beginner”?

Definitely.

The less advanced learner will find these challenging, but every dialog is packed with expressions and vocabulary within reach of even those just starting to speak whole sentences.
