Subj: [kl] spanish posts (Fernando Silveira)

I think the Spanish posts are great. There is a Spanish clarinet
list (clarperu, I believe...also stemming from the woodwind.org
website, if you need info.)

The irony is, I believe Elizabeth+'s original Spanish post was
to Fernando Silveira, who lives in Rio (Brasil) where they would
be speaking PORTUGUESE as the primary language. My travels in
Brasil gave me a big surprise...Brasilians, as a rule, speak
Portuguese first, and English second. I even met a good portion
of the people there that spoke Italian. I met NO ONE in Brasil
the times I was there that actually spoke Spanish much. (It was
quite curious to me, considering that all of the surrounding
South American countries speak Spanish, that Brasilians wouldn't
make a point to learn Spanish before English - after Portuguese,
of course.)

Fernando (Silveira,) were you able to read any of these posts in
Spanish, or are these Spanish posts harder for you to read than
the English ones are? If you can't read the Spanish posts people
have recently put on the list, maybe they can repost them to you
in English?

Obrigado Fernando. Boa sorte!
