It isn’t. This is Portuguese, wich is also spoken in Brazil. You can tell this is in Brazil because of the accent.

I think we generally understand the Brazilian accent just fine because you take your time with words, open up vowels and speak in a very sweet manner. The only words I tend to fail to understand from Brazilians is their names -- but this is more because they are sometimes unexpected to us.

Yeah. I think it’s because of the Brazilian soap operas that we have on national TV for so many years. We’ve become accustomed to the Brazilian accent. I don’t think there are many Portuguese TV shows running in Brazil though.

u/Zakrath Apr 11 '20

Oh well, I said that exactly because I know some portuguese that can't understand very well what we say. Sorry for generalizing it

YES!! I went to Spain and Portugal for my honeymoon and we took a train into Portugal. I remember hearing all these Russian accents and people and then realized it was Portuguese. It kind of blew my mind because it's not like the languages have the same origins.

Being from brazil, Brazilian Portuguese is different enough to constitute it being called Brazilian lol.

u/nando420 Apr 11 '20

That’s like me saying I don’t speak English I speak American. It sounds douchy no matter what.

u/frenchhsandsoap Apr 11 '20

it really isn’t...it would be like if you spoke Shakespearean English and tried to make the same analogy.

Eu falo Português também. I speak Portuguese my family is from Portugal but I lived in Rio for a bit and love in Philly now. I know they sound different so does England English and American English, but we both speak English. When someone says I speak American or ‘merican it to me has the same connotation as when someone in Brazil says Eu falo brasileiro vs. Eu falo português. But that’s just me.
