Ola Catarina. Eu so vi o teu email hoje. Nao estou em Portugal pelo Workshop. Estou feliz que a Bo recomendou o meu website. Obrigado.
all of your videos are very helpful, very informative and motivating. not only that though is that i want to go to Portugal one day to see for myself , and seeing videos of it really is great till that day comes where i can go there.
i’m just starting to learn through rosetta stone and online dictionaries, along with helpful websites like yours, and with so much to take in and with so many options, i dont know where to start.
can you give me some advice on where to start?
