What Do Students Say About Destination: Portugal?


"Successfully presented in the supermarket today! Boa tarde, Mia! When I went shopping in the supermarket and buying some prawns I used this phrase. I said, 'Queria um kilo camarões, por favor.' The shop assistant could speak English, but as soon as she heard my 'little' Portuguese she smiled and served me in a very friendly manner. I was so pleased that it worked! Thank you for your useful lecture. Izumi"
