Traga no Português!

Translation: Bring on the Portuguese.

My goal is to learn Portuguese. Why? In honor of the Brazilian team that played brilliantly in the World Cup, with the exception of that game against those Dutch motherfuckers. I'm proud of my bonito Brazilian jogadores. Anyway, I'd been watching videos of Kaka and his team, and also Cristiano Ronaldo speaking, and I realized that I absolutely love their language. I think it sounds amazing. Compared to English, anyway. So I decided over a week ago, that I'd attempt to learn Portuguese. I'd love to say that I know a language other than English. So I just got Rosetta Stone, and all I have to do is commit and study, then I'll know all the basics. I don't know how I'll learn the grammar and stuff...maybe I'll take a Spanish class at Eastfield, since Spanish and Portuguese are similar, and since they don't offer Portuguese there. And I'm taking French III at school, but I don't think that will help, except for some cognates I guess.
Anyway, I'm out. I have a Fourth of July celebration to go to.

Happy Independence Day!!! I mean, Dia da Independência feliz!!!

Yay for Portuguese!
