Portuguese, a dead langague or not?

I was nicely surprised when I saw that the King's College is looking for a Portuguese Professor! Not just the King's College, I could verify is a more broad event... so, I want to say public... sorry for calling Portuguese a dead languagefor the last 10 years! Life surprise you, Brazil surprise you.

Economic and culturally, we are being empowered... there is no way to understand a cultural without language, so... the maths are easy:
Economic attractive makes calls the cultural understand of a certain country be studied - conclusion: portuguese is alive!

Saramago tried to prove me this before...

  1. Hi there,

    Your idea just amuzed me and aroused me some curiosity...
    Where are you from? I just started reading your blog with the "meu bofe é advogado" and you said that this a spreaded term to make reference to "man"... Come on, is not like that.. Bofe is just used on homossexual communities or guys joking each other lol...

    I wan't to make myself available to discuss language matters cause I'm really a great fan of learning different languages.

    Greetings,

    Marcelo

    1. Hello... I am afraid that I will disappoint you. I am very brazilian. You are right about "bofe", it was born as a gay slang and it is more used in the rainbow community.
