Calling All Portuguese Speakers

-
Precisamos muito de recrutar alunos para este viagem que falem portugues.  Caso contrario, teremos problemas quando chegarmos ao Brasil.

If you can read that, then this trip is definitely for you.  PLEASE.  We need you.  We need students who can speak Portuguese to sign up for this trip.  I have been trying to learn for the past three months.  It is not going well.  Duolingo is worthless.  My husband even paid $89 for a subscription to Babbel.  It's just not going well.  The most helpful thing I have done is watch multiple episodes of Peppa Pig in Portuguese on YouTube.  That's about the right level for me.  They speak clearly and don't speak too fast and their vocabulary is limited.  Yes, I have been demoted to the level of a three year old.

We are going to need some students who can speak for us.  If you served a mission to Brazil - or if you were born in Brazil and really wanted to attend nursing school in the states - or if your parents are Brasilian and raised you speaking Portuguese - or if your best friend in high school was from Portugal and taught you to communicate in his secret language so you could say bad things about your teachers without them knowing - or if you just have the gift of tongues and can immediately communicate with people in other languages - if any of those described you, PLEASE consider coming on this trip.  Please.

On September 25, 1747 the Governor asked for permission to add a matrix. The request was granted and construction for that was 1753-1773. In 1908 it was considered a Cathedral church. Modifications to the building were made in 1922 to commemorate Brazil’s 100 years of independence. https://www-catedralflorianopolis-org-br.translate.goog/quem- somos?_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en Giant tree figueira The giant tree figueria is a 140 year old fig tree.

 This whole post is about getting a passport.   YOU NEED A PASSPORT.  THE END. Do not put it off.  The government is taking a long time to do things these days and I do not want you to be left out because you put off getting it until April.   Have I used enough italics in this post?   I think so.  Get your passport.
