After googling aprender línguas into Google Brasil I ended up discovering that Babble does online language courses for around 5-7 languages, Portuguese included. So I decided to try the free trial which I found really good! There's speech recognition which forces you to pronounce the word correctly before moving onto another vocabulary piece. There are many different courses for each language too with many subunits. You learn vocabulary and then reinforce what you have learnt through small exercises. I was quite impressed with it and might consider paying £8 for a month's trial. However I currently have three other courses in process: Livemocha 101, Busuu A1 and FSI Portuguese unit 1 so I would like to finish one of these before venturing onto another course. So I completed the Sports unit on Busuu and I'm just about to go onto livemocha to finish another part of 101.
Update 19:19
I submitted two exercises on livemocha, both a writing and a speaking exercise. I also looked over a short introductory video at graspchinese.com which teaches basic phrases such as '你好’ [ [Hello], ‘我很好,你呢’[I'm fine, yourself?], '我也很好谢谢‘[I'm fine too, thanks] which I already know but as long as I keep on studying for at least 5 minutes per day in a language then I'm satisfied.
Also on Huitalk where you can read reviews on different language books and it's becoming more and more tempting to go on ebay now but I already won a Japanese book off there today so I don't want to spend anymore money.
