Brazilian Husband and Half Brazilian daughter 5 days ago

My husband is Brazilian and we’ve been living in Brazil for two years. I understand a lot when spoken to in Portuguese and can read at about 75% but I have a lot of trouble speaking.
I want to be fluent so I can raise my 2 month old daughter to speak it. We are moving to the US to raise her and I worry that her father won’t be consistent in teaching her his native tongue. It’s very important to me that she be able to communicate with her family in Brazil.

1 week in Lisbon 1 month ago

Unfortunately, everyone in Lisbon speaks English, including waiters, bus drivers and taxi drivers. It wasn’t that way in Brazil, there only the wealthy speak English.
I had a few uses for Portuguese though, translating mostly. I still think it’s a beautiful language, and I’m going to continue using it and listening to it every chance I get.

Why? 2 months ago

My brother-in-law speaks fluent Brazilian Portuguese. I would love to be able to have a conversation about music with him. For now, our language barrier is broken by his rapidly improving English skills and our knowledge of great music.



Give me a year 2 months ago

I visited my friends family in Brasil last summer. They didn’t speak an ounce of english but they helped me as much as they could with learning portuguese and they tried to learn a bit of english. I’m going back next summer for a much longer period. I want to be able to speak to my new family. It is so hard to sit next to someone and not be able to tell them all the little details. Once I get a basic education, I know, like last summer, once I get back to Brasil, my language skills will excel. When you’re forced into a language you make sure you don’t forget a thing!! I can’t wait. Such a beautiful language
