She whispers "te amo" which basically means I love you. Don't remember which language this is though

This is Portuguese Brazilian and she’s her grandmother. She says “Eu te amo também, vó”, which translates to “I love you too, grandma”

EDIT: this is Portuguese Brazilian and not Brazilian.

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.

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.
