Thread Name: BS: Portuguese pronunciation?
Subject: RE: BS: Portugese pronunciation?
I spent a few days in Portugal last year, and I had no luck at call catching onto pronunciation. The written language is close enough to Spanish, that I can understand most things, but the pronunciation made no sense to me at all.
I was sitting on an airplane next to some Portuguese people on my way home from the Getaway last month, and I couldn't even identify their language.
So, Gurney, if you learn to pronounce it right, you have my admiration.

So, if my calculations are correct, your nephew's son is your grand-nephew - in which case, congratulations are in order.

All the best to you and your family.
