Review by Patricia Lyon

I settled down to give the CD a try - but I was sceptical. Take the stress out of
language learning? Huh! That was a new one on me.  Learning a new language is SUPPOSED
to be "no pain, no gain." The  first time I listened to it was after a long day and, to
be honest,  it was the relaxation aspect of the CD that appealed at the time. So  I
snuggled down - and woke up an hour later. "Nod off in Portuguese"  is well named. I've
dozed off to it fairly often since that first  time. It's restful and calming, but, for
the life of me, I still haven't worked out how it has managed to improve my Portuguese so much!
