Is Brazilian Portuguese Different From European Portuguese?
There is a huge amount of comprehensibility wherever you go in Brazil. People still sometimes lose their accent when they try to become more accepted in the big urban centers where the money is. I mean there's more diversity in Portugal in a way than in Brazil. We speak a clearer version of the language and it does not help that they are very much exposed to our language in television and music, cinema and whatever. So when the Portuguese movies are screened here it's not unusual for them to have subtitles. Well the myths or the received wisdom about Portuguese language in Brazil is that of course we speak a very different version of the Language.
