Hey all! New here, I guess I realized how much of a fan I still am last night when I got into a fight with a friend who told me Against Me was 'Shit' and made me take 'Searching For A Former Clarity' out of his CD player. Fuck him, long live Against Me! :cheers:

At least you got a free copy of a really great album out of the deal.

I just watched this movie for my spanish class that was in Portugese, and it was really good. But mostly it made me want to learn portugese.
I love the way it sounds.

Why would they show a Portugese movie in Spanish class?

That is exactly what I said...but it was pretty good so I'm okay with it.
We have to write an essay on it in Spanish though. And compare/contrast it with another movie we're watching that's actually in Spanish.
Plus they have a shit ton of cognates.

One of my friends is Brazilian, so she speaks Portuguese with her parents.. But I think I prefer Spanish. I've tried learning some words, and the pronunciations for some of the words are just craaazy.

Interesting fact of the day. Portuguese is the closest spoken language to Latin.
I have some Brazilian friends who speak it to each other and through my 4 years of studying the mother of all dead langauges, i was able to pick up, like... 3/10th of what was said, though they spoke it too damn fast D:

Really? Not Italian?
That makes me kind of excited.

I took a year of Latin in high school for funsies. I wish I had taken more.
