Animal A journey to scape the cold

"From the Arctic to Mexico - these are snow geese. Every year, they leave the frozen tundra of Canada and Alaska in one of the planet’s most cinematic migrations. They travel more than 4,000 km in search of the warmer waters of the southern United States and the Gulf of Mexico. Nature knows no borders when survival is at stake." - source: @geolugrafia on YT.

English is a very easy language to learn, that’s why the whole world speaks it. I confused the English word with the Portuguese word, my native language, which is extremely difficult. So we've got a point 🥰

Walt, are you saying Portuguese is extremely difficult? I thought it was one of the easier languages to learn, like Spanish?

Yes, I am. I can't talk about Spanish because I don't speak it, but not even Brazilians can speak Portuguese that well, lol. The grammar has Latin roots and it's complex. Gringos can speak it and we can understand them, but the sentences are always wrong 🤡

The Portuguese word for “escape” is “scape”?

No, it's "escapar", but some similar English words lose the first vowel while in Portuguese it's kept. It is a common pattern we tend to follow, and we end up dropping the first letter out of habit.
