Where can I find/buy books/cds/dvds that either teach you portuguese, or that are written in portuguese?

Question

(or books/cds/dvds about Cape Verde?)

Answer 1

You can get a cd or learn online with Rosetta Stone.

It's Brazilian flavour of Portuguese, but if you just want the basics, it's a great way to learn I've found.

Answer 2

unless you speak the language you will not understand them , but look for the very fine novels of ECA DE QUEIROS, of the late XIX century
