>>18637555I like Brazil and Portuguese people a lot; they are definitely friendlier than most Italians. I've been learning Brazilian Portuguese alone but I want to save up to eventually hire a professional on italki/skype. I'm American of Northern and Central Spain descent, so technically I'm not even really ethnically different from Portuguese. The language just comes naturally too, and I've always had a natural inclination towards speaking words with a lisp accent like Carioca and Madrid accents. Note that I don't actually have a physical issue that causes a lisp, but rather a genetic predisposition towards pronouncing word endings with "-sh" sounds. But happy independence day amigo :3
