Hello everyone, my name is Chris and I live in British Columbia, Canada. My parents moved to Canada from Portugal in the 1970s, so since I was born I have always been around Portuguese-speaking people. Being the stubborn person that I am, I neglected to ever actually learn the language but have always been able to understand the basics but never been able to speak it.
I decided after 48 years on this earth to finally sit down and formally study and learn Portuguese so I can actually speak to my relatives who still live in Portugal. I haven’t visited Portugal since my early 20s and I am planning to go sometime in the next couple of years.
