Hello Everybody! How are you all doing today?

Welcome to my new Travel Language Guide post! This time I am translating it into Portuguese. This list has already been translated into four different languages. Cannonically there are two more to go and Portuguese is the fifth one. The last one has to be Greek. I haven’t decided what other languages should I also use. It gets more complicated if I do decide to use Japanese or Chinese. I’ll do my research first before I decide anything.

I’ve never thought of visiting Portugal or Brazil. There are some Portuguese-speaking countries. There is Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde, Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau and São Tomé and Príncipe. Some of these places never crossed my mind. To be honest, I thought it was only Portugal and Brazil. I forgot that they did conquer some lands back in the day. Nobody talks about Portugal and their involvement with the New World.

So here are phrases and words translated from English to Portuguese:

As a Spanish-speaking person, translating this list wasn’t that hard. I was confident in being able to understand the majority of the words. Until I felt that maybe I was underestimating the language. Honestly, I can’t and don’t know how to pronounce these words. Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and French all stem from the Latin Language. Some words are similar across all four languages. And each knows how to find unique ways to pronounce their words. That is what makes it even more confusing.

I am traveling right now. I am in the Dominican Republic and their national language is Spanish. So I don’t need any of these right now. But I am going to a beach resort and there are a lot of Europeans there. If I am lucky, I would like to test out some of these words. Mostly in French or Italian, there are a lot of people from there at the resorts. I can understand a few words but I can’t speak it or have a conversation. Soon I will post a Travelog about my vacation trip.

There you have it! A new language list. It has been so long. I kinda missed blogging and I am back again. Wanting to sit down one day and write in advance as many posts as I can to have them ready. Just in case anything happens where I can’t blog anymore. For now, I want to be prepared because I am always busy and never have the time to do anything else.

So please wish me good luck and have a nice day!

Do not forget to give me a visit at The Senspirational ArtRoom. All I need is your support and you can do so by going to my Patreon page. Or go to see my older drawings at DeviantArt. There are also many other sites that I am currently active in. Never forget to add me on Facebook, Twitch, Instagram, Tumblr, and Pinterest. Well, I’ll leave now. Be nice to others and have a nice day!

See you all later and take care,
