Mas o Portugues e’ mais belo!
Especialmente a do Brasil!
Have you ever heard Brazillian Portugues? Like music - kinda halfway between Spanish and French with a hint of Italian.......I was blown away as a Spanish speaker on my first trip there.
BIG difference between Spanish-speakers and Portuguese speakers:
Spanish speakers are used to gringos slaughtering their language and ignore it.
Portuguese-speakers will not put up for one second with a mispronounciation of their beautiful language and will correct you in a heartbeat!
Now, go find something that will say the name John in Portuguese - Joao with a tilde over the a.......took me months to be able to say it correctly!
It would be nice, but I really don’t have the flair for languages. I’ve been at Spanish for some 20 years now and can barely carry off a simple conversation.
Necesito mas disiplina.
