Portugal's interest in the so-called Indian Ocean Basin began near the beginning of the 16th century.

Portugal was a small power in comparison to the major European powers like Great Britain, France and Spain. They did have a shipping and strong maritime trade industry that was larger than its size would indicate, far above the normal proportions its size might make one to expect.

Portugal's interest in the western Indian Ocean was part of this ocean's basin. She hoped to make herself wealthy by trading for the valuable porcelain, gold and other eastern valuable goods. Along with the wealth, that these precious goods supplied, Portugal's goals were to maintain & expand her sphere of influence on the east African coast and the island of Mozambique. This would not be easy to do when being in competition with England's stranglehold of the sub continent of India.

Bread is a very important subject to Portuguese people. You will find an unusual diversity of breads in Portugal specially when compared with other European countries.

We can categorize bread within their grain cereal. So in general you will have:

- Pão de Mistura (literally Mixed Bread) which is made or with a mixture of cereal grains or with a mixture of the same cereal grain but with different amounts of all grain and refined grain.

- Pão Integral (Literally Integral Bread) which is made with all grain.

- Pão de Milho (Cornbread) which is made with corn grain.

All this types of bread are then cooked in different ways (wood oven, industrial oven, etc.), and with different techniques and with different shapes which will result in different taste breads. Its also very common to see bread with olives on it or spices or even chorizo.

How easy is Portuguese?

I'm currently learning Portuguese. If you have a previous understanding of any other latin based language such as spanish or italien etc it will make your life A LOT easier.

For someone like me who knows only English its a lot harder, within say 15 hours of hard work or lessons though you should be able to speak very basic sentences and have a small base of vocabulary. Enough to have a simple conversation.

I would suggest either having private lessons or download Rosetta Stone or something
