Language Lessons

The native language here in Brazil is Portuguese. It's a language just different enough from Spanish -- the primary language spoken in most of South America outside of Brazil -- to have some cognates but to otherwise be completely incomprehensible to Spanish-speakers. All of the non-Brazilians in the room (including the humble PokerNews reporting team) are getting language lessons as the Brazilian dealers call the action in their native tongue, in addition to English and Spanish, as known and as necessary.
