Spanish speakers often assume Portuguese will be an easy language to learn because both are very similar in grammar and orthography, but many end up sounding with a heavy spanish accent when they attempt to speak Portuguese because they don't emphasize phonetic differences and proper pronunciation compared to students from other languages do.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
