in Portugal we usually eat: -in kings day (6th of january) a cake called bolo-rei, wich has both a prize and a favae in the middle , who ever gets the favae pays for the cake next year , strange tradition though -on easter we eat either roasted goat or sheep , followed by a salty cake called fular( thats probably the one thing my mom lets me cook in family gatherings (._.) anyway we follow up with chocolate eggs (damn you easter bunny you're making me fat) -and then at the popular saints parties we eat a lot of grilled sardines (I wonder why) - finally in christmas ... usually we have a lot of cod. and thats about it in traditional food for my country I can't remember more anyway

oh by the way my time zone is GMT Lisbon, London :P sorry for double posting

that would be great I wanna join in too but... most people are in different time zones so it's going to be a bit hard. I'd say that we should do it whenever the majority is available so please do post your time-zone/location

sure let's skype away ^^

hi again xD well I checked the dictionary to see the differences in those two particular words even though it's useless in this case it may be of use in the future. Bem can be used as an substanctive and adjective eg:[s] o bem (the goodness,happiness, virtue) os meus bens (my stuff);[adj] bem adiantado (well on), bem educado (well raised). Bom is mainly used as an adjective eg.: bom-dia( good day), bom humor (good spirits) boas(female plural adjective) palavras (fair words) esta comida tem bom aspecto (this food looks good)

yo hajimemashite kohyin well in this case there's no difference because both of them have the same meaning, but Tudo bem is oftenly used in european portuguese and tudo bom is widely used in brazillian portuguese

hi so you wanna learn portuguese? I can help you out just ask stuff and i'll try to answer
