So are Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese farther apart than Canadian English and English English?

I think that the difference is more like the one between american english and scotish english .

They all seem to understand each other, but as a non-native speaker, it was very difficult for me. After we had been there for a few months, a new American employee showed up with his Brazilian partner, who I had no problem understanding.

I have the same problem with english.I understand people from places like London or California very well,but is really hard to understand people from Scotland or Texas.

Actually no one can understand people from Scotland or Texas. Not even people from Scotland or Texas. But apparently they don’t care.

Welcome to the boards, Not From Here. I hope your stay is a pleasant one. Should we need to evacuate the boards in an emergency, keep calm. TubaDiva will notify us all with instructions and we should not crowd around the exits. <saying that because the Chicago Reader is rumored to be for sale.>

I would like to state that Brazilians are the most wonderful auto-racing fans in the world and it is a goal of mine to someday go sit in the stands with you all and enjoy the show instead of working behind the scenes in the show.

There goes the neighborhood.

Hi Carnut!
We do love auto racing around here.I think the main reason for that was Ayrton Senna.I remember to see him running when i was a kid and it was incredible!

I just looked him up. I remembered a plane crash, and thought he had died. Glad to hear he’s alive and well.
