More Portuguese Words that Confuse
Fortunately I don't work in the music industry and therefore rarely have to use these words!
1. Violão means guitar.
2. Violino means violin.
3. Guitarra means electric guitar.

I love your comments on confusing Poruguese words. I read earlier the one about push and pull; I often mix those up, too. I stumbled across your blog on a sleepless night. I want to move to Recife in a couple of years, so your reading is quite interesting for me. Thanks.
Hi LeeAnn,
Thanks for the comments! Of course there are also the Portuguese words that are not to be confused with their Spanish "cousins" ... but that is a whole other story! Thanks for reading the blog. How did you find it?
