Curious fact about the Portuguese language!

This language has a word that has no literal translation in English saudade and means something like I love you or I miss you, but it also encompasses a feeling of nostalgia linked to a long-distance love.

 Did you know? 

That all nouns in the German language are capitalized unlike in English, this rule does not only apply to proper nouns. No exception.

 Did you know that in Portuguese there is a giant word! 

I would say almost impossible to pronounce. 

The longest word in the Portuguese vocabulary is Pneumoultramicroscopicossilicovulcanoconiótico. 

It refers to the state of the person who suffers from a disease generated by inhaling volcanic ashes.

 

English has 26 letters, but it has 44 different sounds. This is one of the reasons why we Spaniards have so many problems with pronunciation, because we are so used to reading words the same way they are spelled.
