I have been learning Portuguese for about 2 months, and love it. I have studied several other languages, but never long enough to become proficient. I am “of an age” and got tired of hearing myself say “My one regret in life is not becoming fluent in another language”. So, after visiting Portugal, I have decided to begin learning the language here, and spend most of January and February in Porto and Faro, at language schools and hopefully staying with local folks in a homestay arrangement.
