    “ It would be nice to consolidate the many Protuguese/Brazilan groups in the TriState area to make it a significant once a year gathering. though I realize that take work and logistics. In any case, very nice group of people! ”

    “ My first time attending this meetup group... very nice people, although didn't really have a conversation with anyone since we were watching the performance (the performance was incredible!). But everyone was pleasant, smiled, and that made us feel very welcome. We were not able to wait for the food since we were hungry so had to leave. Will attend future meetup groups like this. ”

    “ A nice crowd. All first timers. Hope they all return for another meetup. The good thing about this group is that there are about 5 organizers, all of whom have different interests and focuses. Because of this, you can find an appropriate subset within the larger group with whom to meetup. ”

    “ It was nice to see others who love Brazilian music, dance and language come together to have a good time, but I'd love it to have an event where I can get personal with a few members (at least a few). Honestly I just joined the group and didn't know anyone when I got there and still didn't know anyone when I left the party. Of course, I do realize that it is a party and people are there mainly to dance, not chat. But in either case, I would like to get to know some of the members. ”

    “ I like the group and hope it will grow. However, the classroom group seems like the kind that might be served best if the meeting's sizes don't grow much larger than what they are now. Based on yesterday's experience, it seems as if the personal level of interaction that took place is possible only with small groups. And it's this ability to keep everyone's attention on the topics of conversation that allows everyone to experience Brazilian culture, get to know the hosts, and learn something we didn't know before the gathering. ”

    “ Encontrar pessoas que se interessam pelo Brasil e pela Lingua Portuguesa foi fascinamente. Pena que nao tivemos a chance de nos comunicarmos melhor ou ate mesmo debater sobre o filme. Senti falta disso. The meeting group was small, but included an array of participants who ranged from knowing little Portuguese to fluent speakers. The evening would have been enhanced if a discussion with respect to the film had taken place. ”

  • “ Nice, friendly people. Too bad there weren't more Brazilians there (perhaps if it were advertised as a kind of "language exchange"--trade Portuguese for English--but I guess that would be a different kind of organization, yes? ”

  • “ Eu gostei muito do Portuguese meet up deste mes, o grupo era muito bom e quase todos falavam portugues - e bom portugues. Eu so' nao gostei muito da localizacao do evento pois e' um pouco longe do metro. Talvez algum lugar em midtown seria melhor para o meet up de novembro. ”
