Team presentation...err...check?

This last Sunday, the team met again to take care of final trip departure details. The majority of the 5 hour meeting was spent fumbling through our presentation...in Portuguese. Did I say fumbling?  Portuguese pronunciation is H.A.R.D, which would probably be pronounced something like JAHUDRLU or something if it was a Portuguese word. Someone should really tell them those letters aren't supposed to make those sounds ;) Let's just say we have some room for improvement and will definitely be working on our pronunciation and speed of delivery.

If you want to see our presentation for yourselves CLICK HERE. It's all in Portuguese but you'll get the gist of it by all the photos. Let us know what you think if you get the chance.  We should be pro's at this by the time we get back.

Besides the presentation practice, we also received GREAT pronunciation support, cultural information, and trip recommendations from some Brazil Experts. THANK YOU to our lovely native speaker guests. You have helped us prepare immensely!

In the remaining 18 days, the team will be practicing our language skills, buying gifts, putting together photo albums, packing and a million other small things needed to get ready. Also, in case you didn't know already, our team now has a facebook page so FAN US!
