Even after 8 years in Portugal (we celebrated last Friday), I still hesitated as I stepped up to the WC in the restaurant. Some years ago I ended up in the IKEA women's toilet, misunderstanding the 'S' (or 'M') on the door, and I will never forget the look on the ladies' faces, as a I emerged from a stall, having entered an empty 'casa de banho'. There's confusion, and there's old habits too. Like nearly getting into the WRONG side of the car to drive, only yesterday, even after all these years of driving in Portugal. Learning a new language and adjusting to the culture is a gradual process! We need to stretch ourselves AND be kind to ourselves, as we adjust and settle in. Here's something that might help with a bit of a giggle (AND here's a little help in the CLASSROOM, if you want to push yourself and make your Portuguese POP!)

Is anyone here using DIGI? And do you have any feedback about the service? DIGI deals Also, anyone using Starlink? I'd like to know why people buy the static unit, when a mobile device is also available?

Looks like a few of us are happy to be having music on the morning show (and to be livestreaming again every morning 8-9am 😁) Please share your requests and suggestions in this thread 👇 and I will spin them on the morning show. Portugal Club members will always be prioritised 😉 AND if you're looking for inspiration for Portugal-connected music, check out our latest classroom offering: @António Ferreira's Guide to Portuguese Music 😍 Remember, listening to Portuese music helps you learn a lot about the language and culture, in a fun and curious way 🎵

Please add your felicitations to our fearless leader 😆
