I speak fluent Portuguese, does that count for something?

Too Funny Vetbridge

Portuguese is very close to Spanish... maybe because they were surounded by Spain ....

I can even pick out words every once in while when listening to Portuguese.

PS anyone know of any elaborate websites about the bronze mannakin?

My Portuguese is more Brazilian, really. Sounds more like Spanish from Argentina.

Stevepax,

Isn't it funny that Brazil is also Surounded by Spanish Speaking Countries just like Portigal

hehehe,

You gave me suck a chukkle with that story vetbridge!
anyhow it has been a long long time,... a lo has happened.

The Mannakin's were evicted, there are free now but they have build 5 nests
in the computer room alone, on the outsides of the screens and in between the window panes. I have on the entire house now, like 10 nesting pairs at least.

I wanted something more domestic, so I went out to purchase a pair of gouldians, (love the colors). BUT, they only had two when I went and they had a cage chok full of yellow and peach canaries. One started singing his heart out like a so I said enough, I am taking him!

His name is singer, ( of course) and between him and the female I brought home with him, I now have 7 canaries OUCH, so I now have everyone in separate cages.

Glad to be back, and I will stay tunned to any canary talk

Your English is waaaay better than my Spanish. When I was in San Juan, i wanted to order some vodka on the rocks. I asked the bartender, "Como se dice "vodka" en Espanol?" (how do you say "vodka" in Spanish).
She slowly, clearly enunciated "Vod-ka". She asked how I wanted my vodka, but I couldn't come up with the word "ice", so I said, "frio. muy, muy frio". She understood and got a chuckle out of the whole thing.
