Wow - how was that done? Do you know? - cheers - I. Oh - as an aside - I have a colleague that works for BBC Scotland - he's a senior reporter. He left university with a first class degree in Spanish and applied for a job with the broadcaster. He was sent to Rio as a correspondent. To this day he does not know whether they were ignorant that you guys speak Portuguese - among other languages - or they had a keen sense of humour. Yours - I.
I believe he took the photos one by one, pasting them, like some sort of CTR + C CTR + V, into the room's picture, and maybe taken a picture of the set later. I suppose. Very good for 1901.
I'll get something else from this period.
Oh, the boss probably did not like his colleague very much LoL
Usually, in other countries, it is usually believed that Spanish is spoken in Brazil. I, for example, do not understand almost anything Spanish.
Possibly, the only states where a small part of the population understands or speaks very little of Spanish would be the frontiers with the Hispanic countries. Like, Uruguay, Argentina, Bolivia, etc.
Spanish is almost never taught in schools here. Usually, basic English is taught in schools. Not all. French, Spanish and other languages are usually taught only in language schools. With high values, by the way.
By the way, the British influence here is appreciable in some things.
For example, here is the Brazilian Marines.
Here, the "brazilian piper" band.
