My kids are here and we've been traveling around.  Three different people on this trip have told me my accent and my grammar are good.  I am feeling proud.  I am far from fluent still, but I work diligently.  Doing another 3-day intensive workshop in a couple of weeks.  And I have just gotten to the point where I speak Portuguese and someone answers me in English, I just keep speaking Portuguese.  Let them suffer.  LOL
