Wednesday, Quarta, 2nd July, 2025: Let's start learning (more) Portuguese on my birthday!
"Olá bom dia ALEGRIA! Tudo bem?" How old are you? Yes, I did just ask you how old you are; "Quantos anos tem?", em Português.
The reason for my impertinence is that I'll be 60 on Monday, 7th July, which as birthdays can do, has prompted questions, reflections and considerations about what has been, what comes next, and what to do with my community of fellow life travellers, here in Portugal.
For me, this chronological 'marker', which on one level is just another day, yet is also a profound milestone, has me asking HOW I want to be as I go into what can be seen as the second half, last third, or in reality - who knows how long?
What I do know, is that I feel hard-wired to serve, support and share the enjoyment of life in Portugal with others, who are in their own way making a fulfilling new life here, loving this country's culture and making a positive impact as we go.
This I will continue to do. And in doing so make this community a more obvious and focused place for that flavour and quality, with others who are moved and inspired to do the same.
Practically, my big birthday is prompting some particular themes, namely: more purposefully learning the Portuguese language, investing in my health, wellbeing and fitness, as well as continuing to live my life in Portugal with an emphasis on *fun, friendship and fulfilment*.
If this appeals to and resonates with you, you are in the right place! And please share this message and mission with others who might like to join us. You can share this link with them, and get a nice little bit of monthly income too 😉
Recently, I have had the good fortune to now be able to share 's '30-DAY EUROPEAN PORTUGUESE CHALLENGE - BEGINNERS' right here on this Portugal Club platform, and invite you to celebrate my birthday by starting the course with me from next Monday, 7th. Let's do it, "vamos embora!!!"
And from next week, this timeline will be a simple check-in, where I invite you to share how you are doing - in your life here, say what's going on in your world, and share your enjoyment of life in Portugal, and in general (see my photo of last night's sunset).
This is a virtual village, where we can truly help and support each other, even if we are not geographically close.
My guest this morning, by the way, is , who'll be continuing the healthy migration conversation with me, and YOU, if you care to join us here.
I am looking forward to learning more Portuguese with you from Monday, but you can always take a sneak peek now in the 'classroom'. Do let me know if you are IN in the poll...
Have a great day 😘
I will be doing the course with you on Monday ✅
I am satisfied with my level of conversational Portuguese 😇
Message me, I need to know more 🤪
