Travel Talk:
Even if you take time to learn some Portuguese phrases before your trip, the chances are that miscommunications will still occur. If this happens, don’t panic – just let the person you’re speaking with know “eu não entendo” (I don’t understand). Also, don’t be afraid to ask them “você fala inglês?” (do you speak English?).
