4 months agoI speak the following languages:
- Mixed English (mostly American-style, but I use certain words from other dialects)
- US English (likely the most intelligible accent of it)
- UK English (still working on it, but it’s quite accurate)
- Misc English (multiple accents and vocabulary ranges)
- European Portuguese (my native language, news anchor accent)
- South Alentejo Portuguese (very specific accent)
- Brazilian Portuguese (emulated accent, 80% accurate)
- Spanish (European, still work in progress)
As a Portuguese person, I’d advise you boycott Portugal at the moment, or at the very least avoid AirBnBs entirely — sadly, they’ve increased to the point where, in many locations, the price of renting a house is higher than minimum wage. Furthermore, even in hotels, many staff get paid minimum salary — a lot of them are immigrants, so they’ll take anything. This means that, through tourism, the Portuguese people lose: rent becomes much higher, companies are incentivized to pay much less, and all of this is supported by the current government, which has refused to regulate AirBnBs and the like.
I do apologize about this rant; it just seems that you value morals & ethics more than average.
