Don't know exactly why! There's actually a song with my name on it, people used to sing the song to me when I was younger. Maybe I got bored after that :tongue:

I still listen to it but im gradually forgetting how to dance....and once u start going to uk clubs, ull totally lose ur interest in kizomba because u wont find that many people or almost none that dance it and other types of dance like hip hop and reggae give u a wider range of moves than just going back and forth and spinning around...xD

Ahh I know what you mean, some Mika Mendes and Elizio songs can sound like they have the same beats.

Over in England we listen to dubstep, drum and base, grime, house.. In short.. Your brain will melt in the process :tongue:

My aunt's from Angola and her family literally all dance to Kizomba, I think its cos Kizomba's from Angola originally, but they can dance really well to it!

When I went to my cousin's christening, I was so suprised how chilled out everything was.. Compared to England anyways. Though yes! Hardly any dancing here, just raving and jumping up and down. You just have to dance to Kizomba when you hear it, its almost impossible not to :tongue:

What do you guys think of half-Portuguese kids who don't really speak Portuguese?

I see quite a few of you are half-Portuguese, and as a Portuguese speaker (though I'm neither Portuguese nor Brazilian) I'm curious to know what you guys think.

I think those kids parents should encourage them to learn their language. I think it's a matter of intrest in their heritage and respect for the family.

It's a bit sad, I think. I would definitely teach my kids mine/their language even if I was living in another country. There are a lot of portuguese emmigrants in France, and it's becoming a habit to see, during the summer holidays in touristic places like Algarve, native portuguese people constantly speaking french with their kids, who are completely unaware of the language. You would think that it's something not worth teaching, and I think it is.
Just out of curiosity, how did you learn portuguese?

I completely agree with you, but with a growing trend towards multi-culturalism, it's tough for parents/kids to keep up with all the languages. I was brought up bi-lingual myself, but imagine I marry a bi-lingual whose mother tongues are completely different to mine. Would definitely result in some tough decision.

I lived in Lusophone Africa for over a decade, and I recently did my exchange semester in Brazil. As a result of the latter I believe my Brasileiro Portuguese is better than my native Portuguese variant. Good in some people's eyes, unfortunate for those who prefer Portugal over Brazil. But you can't please everyone, right? :smile:
