Yesterday I went to my 1-on-1 Portuguese conversation session. Then I came home and sat with my elderly neighbors and spoke Portuguese with them for quite a while. They have rural accents and speak really fast, and verbosely. Then I saw another neighbor and talked to her for awhile.

This morning I woke up from a dream in which I was speaking in Portuguese. Then I went to my group Portuguese class and, well, spoke Portuguese there.

Home. Tired. Turned on the TV. They were speaking Portuguese.

Switched to MAX and watched The Pitt for awhile.

I am brain dead from too much Portuguese. Really.

Good LB. I’ve been picking it up in the streets, for the last 25 years.Spanish is a widely used language. Slang and certain usages of word makes it different country to country. I worked for a General Contractor here, and I learned a lot. Many words are an adaption of English words.
