I'm just jerking your chain.
On a serious note, I love how Portuguese sounds. I used to watch the Brasileirao on GOL TV quite a bit. I suppose BRA and POR speak the language differently, though.

I suppose BRA and POR speak the language differently, though. I think the Romance languages in general sound beautiful, they're just such sexy languages, especially Spanish and Italian. I've wondered actually, does the English word "Romantic" mean what it means because of how beautiful the languages sound, or are the languages called "Romance" because they sound beautiful? It's like a chicken or egg situation.
I've been watching these Brazilian YouTubers (the duo in the gifs I've been using, my Brazilian ex got me into them and I've been hooked)

I don't know much Portuguese at all, but they're so visual and crazy that I still find them hilarious to watch.

Enjoying the last day of my vacation. Then I get to go back to work during a week of predicted thunderstorms.

ah!
It's not "Nao"... it's "Não" that's tricky to say... that ão is not exactly a sound that is heard in the English language.

Yeah, I'm not sure how to do that symbol on my keyboard 
It's almost like a soft "n" sound at the end of the word? My ex was from (sorry, gonna do it again, no symbol haha) Sao Paulo and he would say it like "Saun Paulo"
ETA - Ohh I thought he was saying he "couldn't" say it like he was trying not to out of habit or something
