Portuguese vs English slang

Dear Followers

Today we want to talk about the idea that English people usually have difficulties on speaking and understanding Portuguese. Both are strong languages, being the English language the 3rd most spoken in the world (as native language), and the Portuguese the 6th. English Language emerged on the 5th century and today after the Mandarin is the strongest language in the world. On the other side, the Portuguese language started to be written on documents since the 9th century, and is the native language of the oldest country in Europe: Portugal.

Phonetically speaking, the English and the Portuguese have significant differences, but an English native speaker person can achieve great results in Portuguese learning in a reasonable period of time.
