Thank you to Leslie Smith for sharing her experiences with us all here! In November of 2022, I wrote the DEPLE or B1 exam offered by the official Portuguese- language CAPLE Evaluation Centre.

Brits abroad Learning the language is the preferable way to integrate in any foreign country. Most of mainland Europe appears to be able to communicate easily. Portuguese can understand Spanish.

Stereotypically, we will learn enough to get by and if needed, rely on shouting louder to make ourselves understood. Or we ...Read more

Ali são os alunos que definem o seu plano de trabalho. E como? ...Read more

Only 2 blow backs so far ; once after I rushed putting a big log in shortly after starting it, the ...Read more
