Summary: the "meia" question
Comment: Portuguese is my native language too. European Portuguese. European portuguese pronunciation is a bit different from the brasilian one, so I'd just note that we do not use the word "meia" for the number 6.

Summary: Why WE use the word "meia" instead of number SIX.
Comment: Portuguese is my native language. I just want to help the reviewer from Bradford who is curious about the use of the word MEIA when we refer to number six on the phone. "Meia" is short for "meia-dúzia" that means "half-a-dozen". The pronunciation of numbers 3 and 6 are nearly similar, and could be easily mistaken one for another it the line were bad. Remember, in English, many say, for instance, two-oh-oh-9 and not two-zero-zero-nine, for 2009, where we certainly mean the number and not the letter of the alphabet, and so on. I hope that can help.

Summary: Ultimate Portuguese Book and Cassette Set
Comment: It is somewhat a good set, but it has a lot of typographical errors.
There is a section that does not give people an explanation as to why they use the word "meia", instead of the number 6, when making phone calls. I do not recommend the Living Language Ultimate Portuguese book and cassette set to anyone.
