I don't speak Portuguese. I will be learning it starting in a month and a half. Right now, I know essentially nothing. When people who speak Portuguese find out I'm going to Brazil...they speak to me in Portuguese. That's cool...except I don't understand a word of it. Sure, I could be studying it, but I just don't have time. I have BYU classes to finish within the next couple of weeks, and then I can focus more on my now nonexistant Portuguese skills. But for now, it's just frustrating when people try to get me to understand a language I've never studied a word of, don't understand, and don't speak. And then I feel like a fool for not understanding, even though language skills don't come when you slit the envelope of a mission call. I'm not a fool, I just don't understand Portuguese. Oh, and I never took Spanish, so that doesn't even help either.
Okay?! Okay.
Okay?! Okay.
