Most Portuguese courses on the market don't do a very good job of preparing foreigners for speaking Portuguese in Brazil. With many of the Portuguese courses that I've seen I'm left wondering if the course creators have actually been to Brazil. Ridiculously common words that are used in every day conversations are left out because they're not 'proper Portuguese.' The Brazilian Literary Academy may think that Portuguese should be spoken one way, but that isn't how Brazilians actually speak.
If you're coming to Brazil you need to speak Portuguese the way it is actually spoken by people in Brazil. You need to learn from teachers and courses who aren't afraid to teach you 'improper' Portuguese. You also need to learn using materials that connect you to the culture and get you excited about learning.
The Portuguese courses recommended on this page are ones that I've either worked on or have been created by the Brazilian Gringo team. These courses are unique in that they don't just teach you the Portuguese language, but they also teach you the culture behind the way that language is used.
