Portuguese shouldn’t be too hard, really

To read? Absolutely. To understand, even though I speak some other Romance languages? Just no.

Ah yeah that's fair enough. But then again that's true of all the languages I've learnt.

Learning spoken English with the BBC accent and then landing in Ireland and dealing with all the local accents... that was some craic alright!
