I've always been partial to French. I mainly like picking on my guitar and croaking along in an attempt at singing some songs, the ones i'm working on are in foreign tongues, such as French and Portuguese. not too many, really- mainly "mon pays bleu" and "manha da carnaval."

Something of (the) carnival? I feel as if I should know manha, because it's probably a cognate with Spanish.

"morning of carnival." carnaval is brazil's big party they have each year. it was from the movie "orfeu negro" and was written by the great Brazilian guitarist luiz bonfa. in the movie it was sung in the movie by the late great agostinho dos santos, soccer star breno mello was just lip-syncing.

Ah, it's mañana in Spanish. Why are you learning Portuguese and French? The culture? The history?

Understandable, Brazilian Portuguese sounds leagues better than European Portuguese. I know from Portuguese learners and linguists alike that this is a popular opinion.

I've not gotten to hear what national Portuguese sounds like. is it more guttural than Brazilian? I sorta like the count of Catalan, also.

S is pronounced like sh in European Portuguese. E sounds are dropped most of the time. Estou would sound like "sh-ow" instead of "eh-st-ow". Catalan sounds beautiful, a compromise between Spanish and French.

I likely will not be able to learn all of these but perhaps a handful would be nice. more German, French, Italian, and at least some Russian and Finnish. Any of the Scandinavian languages really.

I'm learning Portuguese with the Duolingo app. I'm also seeking sources for European Portuguese. I don't mind if I end up with hints off different accents, since that seems unavoidable given the preponderance of the Brazilian version in US language instruction.

I know a lot of languages too.
6 fluent speaking + 3 passive (now working on katakana).
Is so hard to discover people that i can swap 5+ languages at the same time during conversations.
