For some reason, all of the emails we get from our youngest son's kindergarten teacher include a translation in Portuguese. While there used to be a large Portuguese population in Boston many generations ago, today not so much. About 20 years ago there was a large influx of Brazilian immigrants, but that has flattened out considerably. I've been wondering about this, and whadayaknow but today my little guy comes home and tells me a new student joined the class who speaks Portuguese. He couldn't tell me if she is from Brazil or Portugal (he's only 6) - or I assume Angola or Cape Verde. I tried, but he seemed more interested in going out to play than learning some Portuguese.
I just found it interesting.
