And how many languages do you speak?
I speak Portuguese, French and a little bit of English.
My English really is not very good.

I miss a lot of vocabulary.

I've been living in Portugal for 33 years.
And I don't know much about life in Portugal,
but I know a lot about life in Lisbon.
Yes.
And Lisbon...
In my life, I've known a few cities.
Lisbon is a city of calm.
There is no aggressiveness.
Lisbonites don't know irony or sarcasm.
You go to Paris, all the Parisians are...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes, a lot of stress.
Yes, the Portuguese are calm.
They are...
They are very, very nice.
Well, there is a lack of conversation.
The conversation is football.
Everything corrupt, the Assembly of the Republic and all that.
These are the two main conversations.
But it doesn't take away the pleasure of living with the Portuguese,
with the Lisbonites.
They have a great history, you know.
Yes, that's right.
But they don't know themselves.
Or they have forgotten a little, you know.
Or they think...
They are very critical of Portugal and the Portuguese.
Yes, really.
They are the ones who criticize Portugal the most.
It's the Portuguese themselves.
So, thank you very much for the conversation.
It was very interesting for me.
What's your name?
Bruno.
How many languages do you speak?
Would you like to share your answer?
No.
So, so Spanish.
But this year, I really want to improve on my Spanish.
And today's sponsor, Lingoda, has been helping me with that.
So, Lingoda is an amazing platform.
It's small, intimate classes with like max five students.
You're like interacting with the teacher.
You're answering questions.
You're speaking to other students.
But it's cool because the teacher can like draw notes directly on the screen.
And it just feels like a very modern and interactive way to learn.
My last class was about bus transport.
You know when you think you speak a language but then you keep making the same mistake over and over?
That was me.
Like if I want to know how long a bus ride is, I would just ask...
Which just means like how much time is.
And then the poor like person at the bus station would just be like...
But now they won't speak to me like a baby anymore because I know how to say it.
Even people like me can figure it out.
And as you guys know from the videos, I'm not perfect.
So, if I can do it, you can do it too.
In fact, Lingoda has something really cool called the Lingoda Language Sprint.
If you can do a class every single day for 60 days, you'll get 100% cash back.
If you can do it every second day, you'll get 50% cash back.
And if you use the discount code WINWITHDAN, just to sign up, you'll get 20 euros or 25 bucks off depending on where you're at.
So, thank you Lingoda for helping me with my language skills and helping support this channel.
