I’m going to be completely honest. It does kind of hurt that people think English is my second language…

Reason I asked was because I remember someone commenting on a different thread that English wasn’t your first language, that’s why I asked. I apologize if I offended you in any way

Not really sure why Elmo said that. Something makes me think it was just to insult me. No offense taken (from you)

You see, that is what I liked about being in this community. Pure Technical discussions along with some general topics. Like meats & potatoes with some spice :yum:

So I am always careful about phrases.
For a non native speaker it could be leading to “hara-kiri” :wink:

Even native speakers from the same country might have different interpretations of an expression.
We were discussing this in another thread.
You remember the “knuckleheads” :joy:

Yes! He projected his drawing on the wall to trace it and now is painting.

I’m already looking into options to do the same in my son’s bedroom walls, something fun and instructive but not overwhelming. :slight_smile:

Regarding different use of portuguese phrases in Portugal and/or Brasil as well. Funny!
When I was in Brasil (30 years ago) all asked me what kind of “antique Portuguese” I speak.
When I told them this “Portuguese from Portugal” they laughed a lot, and they understand. Si senhor, claro!

Here we have really two different lines of courses in adult education center : Portuguese for Portugal and Portuguese for Brasil.

eg. Percebes ou comprendes ou entendes? Like this… :joy:

It’s different enough for two language teachers I had to say at different times that it grants Brazilian Portuguese its own language name. There are verbs used in different ways, different spelling of many words, the use of personal pronouns is different, and the very syntax changes from one to the other. You can study English in the US, Canada, UK and, once you get over a few regionalisms and accents, it’s the same language. The same for French learned in France or Quebec. But if you learned Portuguese in Portugal you might not understand books written by Brazilians - there are actually “translations” when a book is published in the other country…
