It does look like you answered your own question?
But, anyway, yeh. It's Brazilian Portuguese and the pronunciation (and some sentence structure) in it is quite different from European Portuguese

Brazilian Portuguese is just that. Portuguese spoken in Brazil.

Portuguese spoken in Portugal is usually referred to as European Portguese and, as yet, Rosetta Stone don't offer a European Portuguese course.

But last year it was announced that Brazilian Portuguese has now been adopted as the "Official" Portuguese in Portugal. Still haven't bought Rosetta Stone though!

Are you kidding??? Who said that? I am a native Portugese and I certainly don't have that accent!! That is as true as American English being adopted as the "Official" English in England...

I agree to a degree however, if you're going to spend money on a course, better to spend it on a European Portuguese one, IMO
