But I am surprised that you learned German at school in Portugal. When I was in Lisbon very few people spoke German. Very few people learn German in High school...I did so because I did not like French. Still there are lots of portuguese living in Germany and they learn German so fast...it's incredible!  I see  .With a very special thank you to Tina: Is hammer already absolute, how much some people verändern...ICH hope is never so I will be! And if, then I hope that I would then have wen in my environment who joins me in the A.... | |

But my wife's American, so maybe some of her Brooklynese has rubbed off on me. I like Portugal. Wonderful country, great people. It's not "no, señor" but "Não, Senhor"... Thanks for the compliment!  Sincere apologies Senhor. I will learn Portuguese after I've learnt Spanish (my next goal)/ There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying.

It can't be too much of a stretch, Portuguese to Spanish, or is it hard? I'm fluent in French and people keep telling me that Spanish should relatively easy for me to pick up.

We can perfectly understand and ready both Galego and Casteñano but to speak it is hard...at least it is so for me. Here's an example of Portuguese...taken from a classic movie: http://www.youtube.com/wa...UoidjqokPo | |

How different is the Brazilian version of Portuguese - slang/vocabulary aside? There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying.
