So sunday went well - I did 'cheat' a bit and memorize what I wanted to say, and then when I got to the front of the church I just spoke from memory - for 2 whole minutes... but it went really really well! :-) However, after I had finished my spiel the lady asked me a question and I had NO idea what she said - granted she was talking very fast and had a Columbian Portuguese accent (excuses excuses!) So I was kinda embarrassed and put on the spot, but it went OK overall and I chatted to some people afterwards and understood them easily enough and they all said that I spoke really well.
Then my teacher, Eugenia took me to the beach at Guiche, and I could see
Cabo da Roca (the most western most point of Europe) and we sat in the gorgeous hot sun for a while [the temperature was over 20C/68F!]. I got home fairly late, but it was a good day - lots of practice speaking Portuguese!
So now I am in my last week of class - It has really been a fantastic time, and I am looking forward to returning to Mozambique to put into practice what I've learnt!
