While the UK experienced a white Christmas a whole month after Christmas itself and the coldest January it has had in years, team member Choon decided to escape the bad weather with a trip Portugal – namely the Algarve and Lisbon. Although January in Portugal is quiet in terms of tourism and the temperature is unlikely to exceed 15 degrees centigrade, the relaxing atmosphere and mild weather…
Sadly didn’t get the chance to open this bad boy up.

I only really got to say “ola, por favor and obrigata” but better than nothing.
Kinda nervous about trying to speak Portuguese also kinda excited.
Hope my brain doesn’t fail me and I get tongue tired.
Hope they can understand me
There’s a different feeling when studying a language when you can use it very soon.
It gets me more excited because it will make my holiday more special and it will show me how well I’ll do in the real world with real people.
Can’t wait to show my friend my skills.
Hope I don’t get tongue tided.
Since I’m going to test my language skills in March when I go to Lisbon. I’ve learnt just the basics.
I’m going to do a little experiment.
I’m testing to see the difference between when I’m talking to my friend to being surrounded by the language itself.
It will be interesting to see how much Portuguese I just randomly absorb without even thinking about it.

Dad: “they speak English over there as well”
Me: “I know but it’s nice to know some words and just in case someone doesnt”
