Despite my last name, I am not from Cuba (or Filipinnas), and asking if I am somehow relative from Fidel is a recurring joke...  But I am actually from Brazil. And I am not his relative!

I am trying to improve my pronunciation and if you see (or hear) me saying something wrong, I do appreciate your feedback on that too... I only can correct myself when I am aware of my mistakes, right?

While I am able to understand people speaking Spanish if they speak really slowly and I can read some Spanish, I cannot speak it at all.

Some people think that all countries in Latin-America speak Spanish, which is not true. Most of the countries do speak Spanish, but:

• In Guyane (or French Guiana), an overseas part of France, they speak.... French
• In Suriname, the official language is Dutch.
• And, in Brazil, we speak.... PORTUGUESE!

If you take a look at the translation version of different softwares (Internationalization), you might even notice that there is, quite often, a version called Brazilian-Portuguese (as there are some differences from the Portuguese that is spoken in Portugal).
