It was not easy to learn portuguese, because it s totally different from german. but - in fact - when you are confronted by a foreign language every day it becomes much easier to learn. you cannot escape :o)

The Portuguese course provided by the University is bad, but it gives points. Most of the people speak English, so you can get by without learning Portuguese language.

Portuguese people when they see someone trying to speak Portuguese they are very nice to that person. If you speak Spanish it helps a lot in communication.
