Portuguese

Initially I thought Annabelle and I would take language classes to get ourselves immersed in the culture, but don't think they offer any adult/children classes.  My aunt Anne gave me this awesome book before we left that has been really handy for your basic communication.  I think once we are back from the holidays we will explore classes, but for now it's fallen to the bottom of the list.  It has been extremely frustrating not being able to communicate with people and I feel like all I say is "Nao fala Portuguese, eu fala Ingles"

I have been trying to teach Annabelle a few words and she has done a good job learning them and will even say them to the workers in the complex.  Her favorite word so far is "Bom Dia" and it's pretty cute to hear her say.
