Im ok in other languages, it's all the variations in english colloqialism that kind of screw me up. If your foreign, your foreign. People wont judge you on your local accents, you'll just sound portugese to them.
My parents are from Bangladesh. The only people I get to speak Bengali with is my elderly parents and elderly relatives. They all speak a very old fashioned, very strong regional rural dialect. If I try to speak this bengali in bangladesh no one really understands, its like 1800's strong redneck type accent. Most of the words are totally unknown to anyone under 60 year old there, and thats in the specific area which they came from. It is just very very funny to everyone.
