I enjoy Brazilian films and some Brazilian music.

  • In my opinion, although France and Portugal aren't neighbour, I can notice both language have similar sound like "on" in French which is "o with the tilde" like situaçoes in Portuguese. This language makes me fascinating as the sound looks like French and it looks like these languages are very closed in spite of their differences in term of orthography. Moreover, contrary to the Spanish that contains many false friend, we can notice that "mouiller" in French is "molhar" in Portuguese or "commencer" in French is "começar" in Portuguese or "la piscine" in French is "a piscina" in Portuguese. Even if I understand why people choose Spanish more than Portuguese, I recommend you to learn Portuguese as it will be easier later to learn Spanish as both languages are very closed.

  • For me, firstly, I dont speak Portuguese, wich I did, learnt about 3 words that stuck with me, but what I will never forget is something that goes like this , forgive spelling, Kapesa hoka, it says so much, and I still use it to his day.
