Hi Everyone!
I can’t believe it’s been a month since I’ve uploaded my last video. This past month has been full of excitement and new adventures. Can’t wait to share them with you all!
After meeting so many new families, the one common thing that I hear is how worried they are about their children adapting to a new life in a new country. Don’t worry, I felt the same way. Have you ever heard the saying “kids are like sponges?” I’ve always heard it, but never witnessed it until now.
I wanted to create a video where I interview my children about their first year of school and their new life here in Portugal. I didn’t formulate the questions beforehand so everything that you hear is pretty raw; including my reactions. I was actually kind of surprised by their responses.
Please be sure to put your closed captions on as I asked all the questions in English and they responded back in Portuguese.
Hope this video helps 🙂

These children besides being gorgeous are also brilliant! PARABÉNS……….🤗🇨🇦
As crianças são sensacionais aprendem tudo com uma velocidade espetacular , gostei muito de ouvir o Português falado por eles, foi muito bom. Parabéns a todos💕
Muito bom! Vai ser muito bom para eles no futuro!
Wow, wow, wow. So impressed. Oh, to be young sponges. I am actually impressed with myself… I understood about half of what they said… but it is so lovely to see how easily they spoke and with terrific accents. They are absolutely adorable. Do they speak Portuguese together?
Great questions Josie… you are a good Mum!
(p.s. I didn't see any translations… I clicked on CC but it only showed the English. Maybe I'm doing it wrong).
We are planning to visit Caldas and this Portuguese school in late November. So great to hear your kids have adapted well and are picking up the language quickly.
Que lindos! 😍 Sou Brasileiro e eu e minha família iremos nos mudar para Portugal em setembro de 2023 e seus vídeos nos ajudam muito. Muito obrigado.
The kids are speaking beautifully. I understood everything without subtitles which means they are speaking it very well. I’d love to see a video on your pros and cons list for moving to Portugal or abroad if you are keen? We have 3 young children similarly aged to yours and would love to hear another parents perspective on how the kids adjusted to leaving family and friends behind and starting anew, with any parenting tips along the way.
Great job kids!! Wish we adults could learn Portuguese as quickly.
Impressive! Your children are adorable. Can you tell us how old they were when they started at the school? Mine would be 7 and 10 so I'm a bit nervous about the transition.
Your kids are already very proficient and comfortable speaking portuguese! and so cute!
Your children are so impressive, Josie! They speak so well in such a short time. I was curious to know if you could share what prompted you and your family to move to Portugal? Apologies if you’ve already done a video on this. And if you’d rather not share, I completely understand! Thanks for sharing this video. It was fun to watch!
Amazing Josie. They are already fluent. Good to see how quickly kids adapt.
Adorable!
LOL “mais ou menos” that made me chuckle.
The best years to learn a new language
Thank you for this amazing vlog!
Amazing, these kids speak Portuguese better than I do English.😱 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😁
So cute! They speak so well! Can't wait for my child to attend a school there & learn the language as well.
Wow that’s amazing how well they have done, they make it seem so easy.
Your children are so impressive. I am just blown away by how well they speak Portugese. Great video.
My husband and I love watching all your videos, but this is surely your cutest video to date.
Your children are sooo adorable. My parents imagrated to Canada in 1959 from the Acores when I was only four years old, I can understand simple Portuguese (problem when it turn technical though)
My vocabulary I must say is not very good.
Needles to say I understood everything your children were saying perfectly. I felt myself feeling so proud for you and your husband on how you chose to move to Portugal and raise your family.
Keep up with the great videos All the best from 🇨🇦
Very impressive! Your kiddos are doing a great job! Pretty sure my 53 year old brain won’t pick up Portuguese that quickly!
So impressive that they are speaking Portuguese so well. Keep up the great work kids. On a side note Josie, after living now in two places on the Silver Coast, have you and your family found the weather to be fairly comfortable, do you find there is enough blue sky mixed in with the gray clouds? We are from the Pacific NW of the U.S., 8 months of rain/gray, and 4 months of fantastic weather. We have spent time in the Algarve and the Silver Coast, like both locations, it is just hard to decide which would be a better fit longer term. Thoughts? Thank you! Keep up the YouTube videos.
Your children learned a lot in one year. They're very cute and your daughter's mannerisms are very Portuguese. I'm 1/2 Portuguese and watch instructional videos but I don't get a chance to hear children speak the language. Thanks for sharing and all the best! (Mrs.Rugby)
Kids are truly amazing at picking up languages! I moved to Portugal (Caldas da Rainha) at age nine so I can totally relate to them ❤
