Hi there everybody! My name is Paulo. I'm a Portuguese and English studant at Univerity and I wanna know how does Portuguese (Brazilian one) sounds to you... I'm really curious!
For us, Brazilian people, English seems to be common, and nobody thinks more of people they listen speaking English than they must be important, because English is everywhere here, plurality of songs at the radios here are in English, although no one understands a word...
Your R sound is uncofortable to us, like in the word WORLD, and GIRL... it is pathetic!
Our R's are like in Home (the H sound), house, etc... of the sound of the "at all" when you say it fastly in the end of breaf sentences... -the mix of the -t sound with the -a.... kinda --a(r)all... you got it?
That's it!!! Also say what you listen about my country!!! Hehehe!

Paulo,
Actually for me Brazil Portuguese is sometimes a howl ( laugh) because of the similarities between some Brazil words and English words, like "Creature" in english- "cree tuer" is "Cree A Too Ra" in Brazil but spelt the same way! but I like speaking the language it took some getting used to and of course Brazil is lovely. Do you think Lula will win the election against Alckmin ?

Estudo o português e acho que o português brasileiro é a lÃngua mais bella do mundo, sobretodo o sotaque de Rio!
Translation: I study Portuguese and I think Brazilian Portuguese is the most beautiful language in the world, especially the accent of Rio.

Brasilian portuguese is much nicer than European Portuguese which is ugly, like their women.
I've been to Brasil over 25 times and married a girl from there. I speak your language but my grammar is probably not correct but I dont hear anyone complaining, after all I'm speaking a foreign language and the girls think its charming so thats all that matters!
