Uderzo/Goscinny – Asterix nos jogos olimpicos (05-045)

After visiting Brasil this summer and managing to read a Garfield in Portuguese, I remembered I had an Asterix in that language as well. Now was the best time to read it, after all I have been exposed to the language for a month, I wouldn’t know if that situation ever appears again, certainly not soon.

So I decided to read another book from my extensive (26 languages and dialects) collection. Obviously I have read every single episode before, but reading it in a language I don’t speak is funny anyway. At points it was too difficult, but a comic is usually easy enough, even if one cannot read all the words.

You speak Portuguese??? i'd love to, i have a Portuguese friend who said it's a very hard language to learn!

I read a Portuguese comic. That doesn't mean I speak the language. I speak Spanish. And a little Italian. The words (on paper) resemble each other enough to be able to read it. Unfortunately speaking is much harder.

I think that is what your friend means. At itself I doubt if Portuguese is very difficult. I can think of many more complicated languages (Czech, Finnish, Welsh), languages with a different script (Russian, Arab) or even no logic grammar (Chinese and Japanese).

btw: good to see you on LJ!

No need to apologise! I shouldn't have put there that I 'read' a Portuguese book.

Glad to see you are back, LJ can always use some good looking Geordie lasses!

I have been talking to one over here quite a few times. But she tends to disappear for times, luckily always reappears.

[geordiecat76.livejournal.com]

Oh yeh?? what you've got to realise about us Geordies is that we may disappear but we are always around and always come back :D

[gerbie.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid that might be true :-(

[geordiecat76.livejournal.com]

No need to be afraid my friend :D
