This comedy moment offers a lighthearted take on the importance of accurate pronunciation and accent training, proving that sometimes, even basic vocabulary can be a linguistic minefield!

Expats Portugal

expatsportugal.com/things-you-would-never-know-unt… Some of the biggest surprises about moving to Portugal aren’t the ones you read about in guidebooks.

They’re the small, everyday moments.
The things that only make sense once you’re here.
The cultural quirks, the emotional shifts, and the realities that don’t show up on relocation checklists.

In this article, Carl Munson — the voice behind Good Morning Portugal, a columnist for Portugal Resident, and host of our community webinars — shares the kinds of insights you only gain by living in Portugal.

The article is open for everyone to read.
For Premium Members, it can also spark relaxed, wide-ranging conversations in our Premium Members’ Lounge, alongside many other aspects of life in Portugal.
