My Portuguese Language Learning Update// How Is My Portuguese After Almost 2 Years
Good Morning and Happy June!
Hope you all are doing well and enjoying this lovely weather. I can't believe it's already June and my children are nearly finished with school.
Have you ever wondered where your Portuguese might be after a couple of years living in Portugal? To be honest, prior to moving to Portugal, I expected my Portuguese to be at fluency at 2 years. I figured I would be living in the country and immersing myself in the language. However, *newsflash* that didn't happen 😳.
Learning a new language (especially if you aren't fluent in another latin language) will be difficult. First, you have to determine a method to study this new language. We all learn differently and your learning method will likely change compared to when we were in school.
In this video, I will first start by speaking Portuguese (you can fast forward to 2.5 minutes to save your ears 😂). I will then explain how I learn the language and my challenges when it comes to learning Portuguese.
I hope you all enjoy ❤️

    I grew up in Caldas da Rainha and moved to the US when I was 22 years old. I’m now 30, so not too long ago. Caldas is a really good good size city, lifestyle is definitely above than living in a major city like Lisbon. It’s easier to get around and is safer (but Portugal is safe overall). I wouldn’t live there again (probably for the same reasons you also wanted a new breeze), but I have a lot of childhood friends who stayed and love it. The food in Portugal (and how healthier it is), weather and the easy access to the beach is absolutely non comparable with anything I could ever find in the US and that I will miss forever!

    I hope that you are in good health and enjoying your life. Suggestions and concerns while abroad: In order to help travelers in general while traveling abroad, and since you are such a good communicator, I would like to suggest the following topics for you to address, if possible, please: The importance of having a will and power of attorney for both property and personal care. What if you get demented while living or traveling abroad without family or friends...who is going to decide for you during that critical moment? What to do if one has no family, wife or kids and start losing our memory while living abroad...should one see a lawyer regarding our assets, and other issues? How does one solve the issue of (yahoo, face book etc.) accounts passwords as well as credit cards PIN in case of sudden death abroad...should we contact a lawyer about the same? The importance of having a laminated card in your luggage with all the necessary, and very important contact information regarding the executor of your will and power of attorney, or any other major issue in case of sudden death abroad. The importance of having funeral arrangements made in case of sudden death while traveling abroad. Options for doing and paying the yearly income tax return while traveling abroad? How to get your mail from back home while living and traveling abroad? The importance of advising your banks about your travels plans abroad so that your credit / debit cards don't get cancelled while you are traveling. The importance of having good antitheft luggage while abroad to keep you safe. The importance of having a hobby while retired to keep you busy. The importance of seeing a financial advisor in order to prepare for retirement. Outliving your retirement savings, and the impact of inflation on the monthly budget. The importance of seeing your family doctor for a physical check-up, and getting vaccinated against hepatitis, malaria etc. before going abroad. The importance of having more than one way of getting to your money while abroad. The importance of having travel medical insurance while traveling abroad and your (insurance company suggestions). Stay healthy, safe and thank you.

How cold does it get in Caldas da Rainha (daytime highs and nighttime lows) in the winter? 3. What's the coffee like in Caldas da Rainha? I think you came from the States, so you're familiar with the specialty coffee scene there. Is it usually dark roasts there, or are there some medium and light roasts, too? Is the espresso traditional Italian style or something more modern? Is it possible to get a nice, fruity Ethiopian coffee as a pourover there? Thanks!
