You could look into that Rosetta Stone computer program. I have a friend who’s father used it to learn Portuguese and he learned it pretty fast and she said it was really easy for him to understand and work with. I’d also read some customer reviews that aren’t sponsored or connected to the company so you don’t have to worry about getting a bias opinion.
