I just got back from Portuguese class. It's really funny. Everyone in this class is either Dutch, French, or English. When I ask questions, no one understands me. They say, "Oh, yeah. It's because she speaks American." Or, "Oh, she's speaking American again."

I was asking how to say "barn" and how to say "can of" as in "can of soup," and not one person knew what I was talking about. "What's a barn? A storage room?" And "Can? Can? What do you mean? Like a tin?"
