I think it would be neat myself, if there was like a little flag like the smileys size there.</div>
Hmm, I don't speak Spanish because in Brazil, people speak Portuguese. Und glücklicherweise kann ich wohl annehmen das mein Deutsch wohl besser ist als Deins.

There's a joke here that says that Americans usually think people speak Spanish in Brazil and that the capital is Buenos Aires. That's because Brazil in the only country in South America where people speak Portuguese. Ah yes, and the capital is Brasília, not Buenos Aires. But you're right, if you understand Portuguese, then you understand Spanish as well.

Entao falas Portugues agora ou Alemao? De qualquer das maneiras no Brazil fala-se ums especie de Portugues, vamos chamar a isso um dialeto da Lingua original?

Can't quite be confused with Spanish as teh intonations are waaaay different but it does sound similar, and if you speak the one you can easily understand the other, maybe not speak it well but speak it nevertheless.
As for Poruguese yes, that is what they speak or I'd call it a dialect of it, as even the spelling is different in many words from the original language...its pretty cool though.
And the music...well...the best Party music in the world...samba...when it is well played, never mind Ricky Martin!

Caramba cara, seu Português não é nada mal. Onde aprendeu? Claro que agora tenho que falar o que você chamou de dialeto. Para falar verdade, o original do Portugal é tão ruim que até os brasileiros preferem Espanhol por que é mais fácil para entender.

I figured as much, but at least others are on the bandwagon for this one!

Hell, I'd love to be there with a full Caipirinha and the congo drums ready to go, he...he...he!
With enough Caipirinha you can make one hell of a samba party!
Caipirinha = White rum + freshly squeezed lemonade, hmmmm delicious, pitty I stopped drinking sometime back
Ei, cara eu vou mandar uma mensagem pessoal para si, podemos assim conversar um pouquinho, afinal de contas nao e todos os dias que posso conversar na minha lingua.
Funny enough...sometime back I sued to use the Portuguese flag as my avatar!

Caipirinha should actually be made with cachaça (pinga). But who cares as long as the mulatas dance the samba?
Fausto, where are you from originally?

I've always figured Portuguese is like Spanish with a German accent...

Um yeah.....I speak English....and only English. I always wish I would have learned another language but it's a bit late for that. I think I would have a hard time learning anything else now.
The flags sound like a cool idea if there is an add-on for it. But I wouldn't waste time coding something like that. I would rather they took the time to migrate to a better forum than spend time on that.
