Thoughts About Connect
Having had a few Portuguese tutoring sessions, I’m trying more and more to use Portuguese where I can in restaurants. They just make it so hard…
I say something, probably half wrong in Portuguese, and they respond in English.
It’s at the point where I then say “Preciso practicar Portuguese” (I need to practice Portuguese) for them to continue with me.
But it’s tough because if I get to a point where I can’t communicate something, we revert back.
I know there is a load of value in speaking Portuguese, but I can see more and more why people can live in Lisbon without ever getting past the niceties.
Maybe more to come later on this…
This piece captures my thoughts and perspectives at the time of writing. As I continue to learn and grow, my views are subject to change, without notice.
