Light differences



                  Hi folks,

For this very first talking, I´d like to say that, since this blog has the target of being helpful for foreigners who want or need to use the Portuguese language for tourism or business, here is the right place for getting some useful information not only about the language but also about the Brazilian culture, since I´m both, Brazilian and Portuguese teacher.
Have you known for example, that the word “thanks” in English which has no difference for genders in Portuguese it has?
That´s it; in Portuguese you say “obrigada” for female gender, but you say “obrigado” for the male gender.
This is the right way to thank someone in Portuguese!
You see folks, it´s very polite from each ones if, when visiting a country, you know at least how to say “thanks” on their native language.
And now, you´ve already known one more new information about it!

See you soon!
