Howdy all,
As many know I am living in Portugal a country where they speak Portuguese. In an effort to learn and document my understanding of the language. I will be posting about the 90 grammar lessons found in my grammar book. So if you are not careful you may learn something. Of course there is much to say about the language and I am not pretending to be an expert (note I did not say fluent) speaker. I would say that I am already fluent (in a small range of topics I can hold my own in Portuguese) but I am not fooling anyone with my accent (I have heard it described as a bit Rio and a bit Spanish and a bit Italian) but there it is.
I am not going to worry about my accent. I figure my accent is the way that I can tell people to be gentle, it may not be dignified to have the giant "L" on the car but as long as the coffee does not get spilled we still get to pass. Or at least the Governator does not have to worry about it so why should I?
