I love the pic! Did you take it? S

Thanks, I'll see what I can do!

I'm now a big fan of duolingo! It is great and I think I'm hooked, thanks for the tip. I used to be an online subscriber to Rosetta Stone and Duolingo seems quite similar with the exception of it being free! That is what I call value for money! So, I'm now on an intensive two weeks to brush up before my trip. I've also downloaded iSpeak Portuguese which seems like it will come in useful to negotiate fun in the sauna as I suspect Duolingo may not cover such conversations in detail! Thanks again Trzinko and tomcal. Swanny

Thanks ihpguy, These should come in useful when I get over there at the end of November! Hope everything is good on your beautiful island! Swanny

Thanks for the tip Trzinko, I'll give that a go. Thanks also Tomcal, for the info on iSpeak Portuguse, I just hope that I get to translate hot messages like you describe when I am in Rio! Swanny

I'm heading back to Rio at the end of November after a break of a number of years. My Portuguese is 'pouco' at best, but I'm trying to brush up before my visit. I'm interested which translator app do you use on the iPhone? It sounds like a that would be a good additional tool for me. Thanks for your posts, I've been reading up on here and it is really getting me in the mood for my visit! Cheers, Swanny
