I’ll be going to Portugal for a week this fall/winter. I’m looking for some ideas of activities I might pursue while I’m there that would force me to speak with natives, perhaps either half- or full-day activities. I’m hoping that the context of the activity might match up with my interests, but also constrain the vocabulary enough to make the interactions manageable for the level at which I’m functioning in Portuguese.
Suggestions are welcome, and I’d love to hear what kinds of things you have done that got you out of your comfort zone of speaking your native language or English while you were visiting Portugal.
