"MAGAA or MAGOA? The people shall decide." "Mágoa" is Portuguese for "wound", so that's definitely the one that I'm routing for.

I learn something new every day. I can’t always remember the Italian I’ve just spent 2 hours learning on Babbel, but that is going to stick in my mind now. Brilliant😄

I live in Brazil, so Portuguese is always top of mind. My husband and I are learning Italian, too (on Duolingo) for a trip to Italy that was postponed because of the pandemic but that we still hope to make, and love it. As you can imagine, Portuguese is a huge help in learning Italian -- many, many parallels.

Just like Spanish was a lot easier because I knew French pretty well at the time...

I can suss out quite a bit of any romance language because they are so similar

Plus, know some Latin helps too
