BEM (well, fine)

This word is usually changed weekly. Don't miss the next one! 

Remark: You can find more useful sentences in my Portuguese Grammar book and Portuguese CD-ROM Course, which are available for sale only through my website. If you want and need to learn Portuguese beyond the basics and not just "get by", I highly recommend my CD-ROM course and grammar book. For your information, please click on Course (special offer) and Book.
