Our trip to Cape Town spoiled me...I spoke English freely all day every day. Now, I'm feeling more like this!! (except the portuguese version...). Someday it won't be like this, right???!
My goodness!! I sure hope so! Though I have to say, today I went out and about downtown and everyone seemed to comment on how well my portuguese was coming along! So I was feeling pretty good. But I can NOT wait until the day I can communicate effectively!!
I am a tall, lanky American girl married to a tall, lanky Brazilian boy and we're living in Salvador. My name, pronounced by a friend in thickly accented Brazilian Portuguese was something like "kweeng" which, in consideration of my green eyes, turned into "kiwi"...so voila! I am Kiwi in Brasil. I never imagined I would be nicknamed after tropical fruit or be living in Brazil, but both seem to agree with me, at least so far...
That comic is too funny! And too true!
