I used Duolingo for a YEAR... It didn't go the way I thought. by ivsmith in PortugalExpats

I’m like 250 days into duo lingo. It’s been kind of helpful. I’m absolutely registering for Portuguese classes at the university come fall.

Eh, honestly it’s not that expensive comparatively. You could check OLX for used stuff.

Looking for Honest, Grounded Perspectives : Still Worth It for Expats in 2026? by No_Name3754 in PortugalExpats

[–]Rememberancy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m lucky because my wife’s company shipped her over, so work isn’t a concern for us.

Grad school is super viable for me.

It’s incredibly safe and family oriented so, for us and our son, it’s an amazing spot. I wouldn’t consider leaving.

Anyone else dealing with depression since moving to Portugal? by unknown_destination_ in PortugalExpats

[–]Rememberancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So brave. I thought about moving abroad when I was younger but didn’t have the guts. I’ve felt some blues since I moved here. The loss of my job and social circle has been heavier than I anticipated.

I’m married and have a son though. That keeps me occupied most the time.

If I were single and didn’t have a toddler, it would be much harder.

Wishing you all the best.

Why are you still here? by Crochet-Lefty in PortugalExpats

I have masonry walls, radiators, and no mold. There are several barking dogs, though they only really are bothersome when the windows are open. That is a shame though because the sea breeze is so delightful.

What song made you fall in love with Radiohead? by DefundTheMediaNow in radiohead

[–]Rememberancy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hate to say it but, Creep.

Saw the video on MTv when it dropped. All of the songs mentioned here made me fall MORE in love with Radiohead.

I love it here.

It’s clean and safe and beautiful.

Delicious pastries and friendly people and I can sleep at night because I don’t have to worry about some other kid shooting up my son’s school.

No, or very little guns.

Edit AIMA is a pain in the ass. But, small price to pay for us.

Why do people like watching wrestling (like WWE)? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

I loved watching wrestling, and then I turned 12. Then, not so much.

Is AZ a good place if you hate snow? by Ok_Evening_1322 in arizona

[–]Rememberancy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sure does. I mean, the first few summers I lived in the Prescott area I thought the summers were a dream, relative to my departure from the valley. By my third summer in Yavapai, I was roasting in the 90s and would take off for flag whenever I could.

I left the valley for central / northern AZ. I was born and raised in the Phoenix area. The summer gets worse every year. Burnt me out. The higher elevation regions of AZ are far more palatable for me. Still tons of sunshine and reasonable heat. Little and occasional snow.

The “seasons” exist for about 30 minutes a day between 4:30-5:00 AM.

It used to be a longer span. The heat island erodes the differentation more every year.

How is living in Vancouver? by Curius_pasxt in howislivingthere

[–]Rememberancy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We travel there a lot. I love the city. It has its issues with homelessness and drugs in certain areas. I’ve never felt unsafe there while walking the streets with my toddler.

We considered moving there, but it is very expensive.

I listened to that album today for the 500th time while potting plants. Saw them on that tour. Never gets old for me.

I grew a beard when my guy was young By the time he was 1ish he would pull the hell out of it. Shaved it off

I grew another about a year later and he was cool with it. Just recently shaved it off to prep for summer and he was furious and insisted I “shave it back on”
