And I've spent five months in England living with British people, and before there I had studied English for 11 years here in Brazil hahaha...

    When I was in Portugal for a short visit I had the impression they speak English quite well. I heard it is because they don't have dubbed films, they only have subtitles so English speaking movies are shown in the original language in TV and movie theatres. I don't know if it is true. But they speak English much better than in Spain, for example.

    3:47 this older gentleman here is right on the money. I visited Lisbon for the first time exactly one month ago and this was my exact experience. The people of Lisbon are super chill and the city itself is super safe. One of the residents even bragged about how a woman could be out by herself at 3 in the morning and no one would touch her. It was a pleasure for me to have the opportunity to open myself up to a whole new world across the Atlantic and I already look forward to me returning to Lisbon, Portugal.
    Also, I noticed the multiple language thing on my first or second day in Lisbon too. It is a very English-friendly city, and of course they speak Portuguese. But I did run into waiters that also spoke French

    I'm an American who can speak Portuguese, although not fluently, and I arrived home 3 days ago after 2 weeks in Portugal. One thing I enjoyed is that I insisted on speaking Portuguese to the Indian shop keepers and the restaurant nags on Rua Augusta. Yes, they figured out I was American and kept addressing me in English, and I would keep answering in Portuguese. One of them actually got angry, and finally I told him that my Portuguese speaking won't improve if I'm in Portugal speaking English all the time.

That's the way it is. That's exactly the best way you will learn a new language... talking to others in their own language. It was an Indian store but the official language in the country is Portuguese. You're right. I'd do the same as you if I were in an English speaking country. Great job, dude!!!

    Ι'm from Greece, I love Portugal and portuguese people, I speak a B2 level portuguese but last summer that I visited the country for second time I was annoyed that some portuguese people that I spoke to switched to english when I was trying to talk to them in their language. I speak also B2 spanish, never had a problem in Spain maybe because few spaniards speak english or because I find easier for me to speak in spanish because their fonology is similar to modern greek. I live in Corfu, a greek island full of tourism and when I meet a foreign person trying to talk to me in greek I always respond to him/her in slow greek and not in english to help him practice the language.

    See, Portugal I believe them when they say they speak 2 or 3 languages because often times they do. In fact, I think most Portuguese people passively understand Spanish as well since it’s very similar to their own language but don’t count it as a language they know since most can’t speak it properly and speak Portuñol instead. The guy from Northern Portugal I automatically knew he spoke Spanish since he is from basically next door to Spain.

    • @frapiment6239

    I really valued Bruno's input, but his bit about sarcasm didn't really make sense to me.
    We actually use sarcasm quite often, as you can tell by the way the video ended.
    Regarding football and politics, I suppose that can be true on a surface level, they're the easy topics - before actually getting to know Portuguese people. I'm sure other nations have their own 'safe' themes of conversation. As any other person, once you properly learn about them, other topics unfold, it's not as strict as Bruno seemed to make it out to be.
    About the people you interviewed, it's true I'd have liked to see some more Portuguese takes, but this video is still representative, since Lisbon is actually full of internationals nowadays.
    Hope you had a great time here in Portugal!

Sadly, he does not speak Portuguese even though he has been there for some time as an immigrant waiting for his European Passport to then move to another country in Northern Europe. Yes, there are lots of Nepali people moving to Portugal mainly because it provides Permanent Residence quite easily compared to other developed or EU countries in this context.
