Example text

Now this is a sentence whose winding ways are worth mulling over, but the ­English scholar has started speaking. And he is one of my worst nightmares.

When it comes to spoken Portuguese, what you don’t hear is as important as what you do. —You’re right— ­becomes Sta cert! A 50 percent linguistic reduction is impressive, but when Eu estou—I am—can be snipped to something that sounds like tou, we’re talking a 75 percent drop in syllabic reality. I imagine that if the Portuguese dictionary were written as the language is truly spoken, the book would be the size of a pamphlet listing the late-blooming flowers of North African mountaintops. I’d bet the barn that if Abraham Lincoln had been Portuguese, he could have delivered the 286 words of the Gettysburg Address in about twelve seconds.
