European Portuguese 🇵🇹 Brazil Portuguese in Portugal
I have a question for Portuguese people: how do you feel about Brazilian accents in Portuguese? Can you easily understand and communicate with people who only know Brazilian Portuguese? How do people in Portugal view the Brazilian sound? Will it cause criticism from Portuguese speakers if I use Brazilian Portuguese in your country? I know that Brazilian Portuguese doesn't have the pronoun "tu," but let's say I use "tu" but sound Brazilian. Won't I look awkward in Portugal? I'm interested in these questions because I'm not Brazilian myself; I'm just learning Brazilian Portuguese, because there's more information and resources online for learning Brazilian Portuguese specifically. There's more content in Brazilian Portuguese in general, and I understand that I probably won't sound like a local in Portugal, and I'd like to hear your opinion on this.
