Mockingjay Raphael Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 It's a simple sentence, that doesn't change the fact I'm still a beginner in that language. As for speaking it I can just tell I would speak with a very clear accent, I'm far from fluency yet. ^^' Don't be so modest, I'm pretty sure that your Portuguese is better than the one of some Brazilians 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 Morto! Your portuguese is really good. Why did you start learning portuguese, by the way? Are you interested in our culture? Russian was my third language but it's quite a difficult one and Russia was starting to go in a horrible direction economically speaking (and my fears have been confirmed), but I still wanted a third language to make a difference on the workplace so I had to choose between keeping Russian, starting Chinese, Japanese or Brazilian Portuguese. Chinese requires a huge amount of time while being very difficult and 7 years of intense learning is just too much given I'm not in middle school or high school anymore, Japanese was fine but the country is economically declining and its population is increasingly smaller so that's not good for business...Portuguese, on the other hand, is close to Spanish and Brazil is a promising country with a huge potential so it was natural to take it. It was a difficult choice but it was a rational one, I needed 2 months to make this decision. Of course I didn't expect than the Brazilian economy would be so bad now but the reasoning doesn't change : it's promising with a huge consumer market on the long run. So no it's not about culture, it's a cold decision that is purely business-related. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 Why did you start learning English, by the way? Are you interested in the American culture? I started to be interested in English language and American culture when I was 6, everything started with the movie E.T The Extraterrestrial, my first videogames that were entirely in English and the X-Files TV series, it's a longstanding love story 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 BUT THE LANGUAGE IS STILL GOOD FOR ANIMEEEE When an episode of an anime is aired on Japanese TV you can find it on the internet with English subtitles several hours after so even this use is pretty limited.

Both MJ2 and THD has a shot at $400m, while Spectre won't make even $300m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
