Hello Nicholas! Congratulations for your Portuguese skills, this is really apreciated by us.

Just for a new comment.

Demi Moore e Ashton Kutcher is having funny truble with the Brazilian expression “Chupa” , after the Confederation Cup, Ashton was happy (during the first half) about the game, but at soccer we have 90 minutes, so he figured out who is the best in this field. We :)
And, at his twitter he got a couple msn about “chupa”.

Goddamn it, US. You should have won! I’m one of those few brazilians who doesn’t like soccer very much and feel like we’ve won too many cups. If we had lost today, it would be a huge pull back to the whole country. We would feel more down-to-earth and less arrogant.

Now it’s like every other day, we’re as high as a kite in 4th of july, drinking and dancing on the streets like there’s no tomorrow.

Damn it, north-americans. Do it right on the next world cup. Buy a referee or something.

You correction has been noted. That’s what you get when you talk about leagues you don’t follow that closely.

Anyhow, I studied Portuguese because I already knew Spanish and my college offered advanced Portuguese classes based on one’s knowledge of Spanish. So it was a pragmatic decision. I also liked the idea of learning a language that not too many people here in the U.S knew. When I was in Portugal a few months ago, most people thought I was Brazilian, because what American bothers to learn Portuguese? I do!

Anyway, Brazil crushed my heart today. We’ll see you in the World Cup next year!

Cotinthians won the São Paulo State Championship in 2009, Palmeiras won in 2008.

And one question, why did you learn Portuguese in your college? It is just awesome, everyone here wants to speak English, and sometimes I think my native language is useless, because no one really want to learn it :(
