Portuguese Speakers

[Jedi Bruno]

Hey Guys!

I'm making a poll in order to see how much portuguese speakers there is in the Org. If you can, tell us from which country are you from.
As for me, I am Brazilian!

[Caius]

I speak spanish, which is similar to portuguese, and I'm Argentinian.

[Jedi Bruno]

Of course I know Argentina! I'm from Rio Grande do Sul, the most southern state in Brazil. I undestand spanish too.

[Raz]

I speak English, understand a touch of French (we (family) used to have students from Reunion stay at my house) and speak a touch of Indonesian. Unfortunately, no Portuguese for me. =/

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

I speak English (well duh!), and I learnt french for two years, and german for three. Understand litle of both though. Again no portuguese.

[Quintus.JC]

I'm able to speak English, Italian and Chinese. But no Portuguese or Spagnolo.

[Veho Nex]

I can speak fluent american-english, I understand and am able to communicate with ghetto english Southern english and A little bit of brooklyn enlish. I can speak chinese, though can't say anything nice. My spanish is incredibly rusty despite my always hearing it. A little german, french, italian, and norwegian.

I have a feeling not too many are learning Portoguese; mainly native speakers. (As with my own mother tongue :-D)

[Jedi Bruno]

That is true. There also the problem that most people think that portuguese is the same as spanish and that in Brazil everyone speak spanish as well. That couldn't be more wrong. Brazilians DEFINETLY don't speak spanish, although it might sound the thing to an english speaker, native portuguese speakers get insulted by this.
I don't know if any of you guys remember, but current US president George W Bush, said that Brazil's capitol was BUENOS AIRES!!! That is in ARGENTINA!! Gosh, that thing was really annoying...

Shame on you Bush.

...current US president George W Bush, said that Brazil's capitol was BUENOS AIRES!!!...

If you think that's as bad as it gets...

(by the way, for those who will doubtless be confused by how real this looks, The Onion is a farcical newspaper in the US that does an amazing job poking fun at everything in the world, but especially US culture)

I studied Italian (briefly)...it's close to Spanish which is close to Portugese, no?

Well... Yes. It is somewhat close to Portuguese. Perhaps you can understand something with the help of a dictionary. But both languages sound very much like each other.
