  1. Margaret Nahmias:

    I love the blog It is full useful vocabulary. Adir, I have question for you, when you learned Spanish did you find that you confused it alot with Portuguese. I am quit fluent in Spanish and I am studying Portguese now and I find I confuse some words.

  2. Adir Ferreira:

    Margaret, I confused it a lot with English, to be honest. Even today when I switch languages I sometimes have a hard time. For example, I have an English student from Uruguay, so some of my explanations are in Spanish, while speaking English.

    It’s very common to get mixed up with the languages so don’t worry!

    Thanks for visiting the blog!
