Wow!

BTW Brazilian is a separate language to Portugese, ask any Portugese.
When you take a test such as a language GCSE/A level or a SAT in Portugese it will say Portugese-Brazil or something similar... When you get to the test they give you a stack of about 30 pages on what this Portugese word is in Brazilian, because some words are similar but others are different, for example: Bus means Autocarro in Portugese but in Brazilian it's Omnibus.

See (no offense) Brazilian is like a Portugese slang, its like a dialect, Italy has quite alot of dialects whether you're in the south, north, east, west,or central Italy.

Are you in Quebec or New Brunswick?

 

Although I am fluent in French, the vast majority of people I know here in Canada can't speak it.  Kids are forced to learn very basic conversational French up until about the age of 14, but the majority of people outside of French speaking areas can't maintain a conversation.

BC actually. 

Surprising, but I kept at it with French until 9th grade, when I switched to Spanish. 

I finished grade 12 French in grade 8 so therefore the switch, as a second language is mandatory at my school. 

But true, many people in Canada can't apply it in reality after learning for quite a while.

It's the same language, it have some different words as you said. But is the same for Brazilian regional dialects. In South, "cacetinho" means bread, but in any other part of Brazil, cacetinho means small dick; in Parana state, "vina" means sausage, but in the rest of Brazil, vina doesn't means nothing (you can check the differences in brazilian portuguese and portuguese on this brazilian comedy video)

 

However, still being portuguese 

 

Well, as a Brazilian I speak:

 

Portuguese

Spanish

English

Some German

A bit of Italian

[Breadquanda]

I'm currently working on my Arabic and Mandarin Chinese, whilst I'm finishing up Spanish and German. I'm planning to learn French and Russian, and if I get that far probably some others that I'd have thought up by then

 

 

I've begun working on Bulgarian, right now I know very basic things like Hello, which is "Zdravey" or, How are you? which is "Kak si". I know a little more, but I've just begun. I still don't fully understand cyrillic, but I can read most of it lol
