I'm pretty proud of myself tonight...
#1 -- I asked my Brazilian friend about a phrase I had read -- he answered in like 5 different messages. I understood probably 95% of what he said.
He had been speaking slowly -- the way he does for me -- and he asked if he should speed it up...I said 'a little' (um pouquinho)-- after that I was probably only getting 30%..but still it shows improvement!
#2-- He also advised me that I was speaking in the Rio accent -- which made me feel good -- that he could tell.
I told him the reason was because all the people in the lessons are from Rio! He laughed at that!
I don't know if you'll be able to play this -- I seem to be having trouble finding a format that everyone can listen to! (Close/ignore any Dropbox 'create an account' boxes...) It's me explaining that all the people in the lessons are 'Cariocas!' -- 'from Rio!' --

Now, don't get me wrong -- I was NOT speaking fluently. But he just advised me that I was pronouncing things like the people in Rio, lol! But I'll take it! It means I'm improving!
