Brazilian Portuguese
Daniel's sixth year in Brazil, and Alice's first: papers in two countries for a baby with two passports, a new director and an office to open in Recife, a daycare, a fever at three in the morning, and a baptism in the chapel on the farm. Learn the Portuguese of adult life: formal emails and meetings, reporting what others said, disagreeing without fighting, and making up when you do.
