Ok... I was proud of being Portuguese but now.... well I am really, really proud to see that we (Portuguese) are being so praised! That�s so nice of you. ThanksIt�s true we have some good qualities even though we keep saying we don�t... it�s what we called Fado (a sad feeling that can be heard in the voice of some great Fado singers= Fadistas, like Mariza) We have good food, good weather (not this winter I�m afraid because it�s raining cats and dogs all over the country), good wine and people are incredibly friendly and nice towards foreigners. We know how to make them feel at home....but that my friends, I also felt when I was in Scotland during my honeymoon.... unfortunately I still haven�t got the chance to go back The productive side of the Portuguese... well that�s a secret we just keep to ourselves Thanks again for your kind words... and when you come to Portugal please let us know. I also have family in Braga.... my husband was born and grew up in Braga _ a very beautiful city by the way!

I was amazed so read such nice, caring and kind comments on portuguese teachers and portuguese people in general! We usually tend to be pessimistic and we don�t value ourselves very much. These are portuguese characteristics, unfortunately     bigbang has said it all: Team work and positive feedback works for us as it does for our students. It�s really wonderful to belong to this family.   A big hug to you all
