Learning Portuguese - Part 2

I decided on Marino College in the end, because it is only 40 minutes away. I enrolled today and I'll be attending on Tuesday nights, 6pm to 8pm, for 10 weeks. They seemed a bit disorganised during the enrollment, there was a big crowd though, they have dozens of courses, everything from "cooking for everyone" to "bioengergy healing" to "how to build a partical accelerator in your shed". I still don't know anything about the Portuguese course. Also, it looks like I'll miss the first day due to a business trip (more on that soon). Maybe I should supliment the course with a language CD-ROM or something?
