We may be lost in translation but we´re polite

Language barrier 1 - when in doubt say obrigada (thank you). We´re back to speaking the 10 words we know in Portuguese. During our stay in Caruaru we had several translators. We´re a bit spoiled. For the next 3 days were back to hand gestures, yahoo translator, and our pocket dictionaries! I feel like I´m in a never-ending game of win lose or draw! Emily & I are staying at the same house. From what we gathered on yahoo translator we are having an English speaking friend for dinner.
