November 12, 200718 yr I leave for Brazil (Brasil) for a couple of weeks, tonight. Try not to miss me too much! :AH-HA_wink:Boa viagem e veja se pratica algum Português :AH-HA_wink:
November 12, 200718 yr Author Boa viagem e veja se pratica algum Português :AH-HA_wink: Por que eu preciso para praticar?
November 12, 200718 yr Por que eu preciso para praticar? Acho que não temos esse ditado em português, por isso escrevo a versão inglesa: practice makes perfect
November 12, 200718 yr Where in Brazil? I work with 2 guys from there. If you need to know any good places to go let me know and I can ask them.
November 12, 200718 yr Don't bring any Montana's back, m'kay? I wonder what the US reaction to a small ute like the Montana would be is oil prices remain as high as they have been: scorn? or some degree of acceptance?

November 13, 200718 yr Author Acho que não temos esse ditado em português, por isso escrevo a versão inglesa: practice makes perfect Yeah we have that saying here too. No entanto, a língua do Brasil não é verdadeiro Português! For those wanting to know where in Brazil I will be, I will be in São Paulo. Edited November 13, 200718 yr by Pontiac Custom-S
November 13, 200718 yr Author Both, I want to be the hairiest woman you ever had. How did you find out my secret?
November 13, 200718 yr For those wanting to know where in Brazil I will be, I will be in São Paulo.Paul's a great name.How can I miss you when you won't go away?
November 13, 200718 yr Yeah we have that saying here too. No entanto, a língua do Brasil não é verdadeiro Português! True, but it's spicier than the Portuguese from Portugal. Brazilian people are, in general, spicier than Portuguese people :AH-HA_wink:
November 14, 200718 yr True, but it's spicier than the Portuguese from Portugal. Brazilian people are, in general, spicier than Portuguese people :AH-HA_wink: I've had the same argument with a (former) co-worker who is from Portugal. When I was learning Portuguese 4 years ago, he argued with me that I was learning 'Brazilian' and that isn't 'real' Portuguese. Really, I countered. Hmmm. 170 million Brazilians and 11 million Portuguese: I wonder who is influencing the language today? Particularly considering you watch a lot of Brazilian TV in Portugal. To the 'layperson', Brazilian is much 'smoother' to the ear. My partner is Brazilian (so I am biased, of course!) but when I hear 'real' Portugese it sounds like fingers on a chalkboard.

Que bom: mais uma pessoa do Cheers&Gears que fala português! :AH-HA_wink:
November 15, 200718 yr Que bom: mais uma pessoa do Cheers&Gears que fala português! :AH-HA_wink: I can read it, I can understand it if spoken slowly, but I would not go so far as saying that I can speak it! Well, enough to order food at McDonald's in Sao Paulo or 'Bob's in Jaoa Passoa! The Montana would certainly sell in Canada, but I am through 'wishing' for vehicles that we never get.
