Oi! (Hi!) It has been a little while since I have posted. I have been busy working on my Portuguese. It is coming along. Eu falo um poco de portugues. (I speak a little Portuguese). It has been a lot of fun learning. We know a group of people that are fluent that have been helping us learn. People that are from Brazil and Angola a country in Africa where they speak Portuguese.
If you are interested in learing a language, there is a great language program that works really well. It is called Pimsleur. It is a group of audio CDs that teach you how to speak the language, it is a lot cheaper than Rosetta Stone and very effective. You are supposed to listen to one 30 minute audio recording a day, during the recording they teach you how to say different phrases, they say them then you repeat them back. They say them during various times so that you remember the phrases. It is amazing how well it works. We bought several books on Portuguese from the bookstore that we are reading, but it is the phrases that I have heard on the audio recordings that I remember.
