Nonsense. And what about learning portuguese? Dear Salles, The "Swindon" story was about "jobs"......in the UK - where, I believe ....English is the main language. IF the 'job' was in Japan, one MUST speak good Japanese. Speaking Chinese, Portuguese or English will NOT be enough. Similarly, speaking good Portuguese will NOT help any Portuguese-Goan to find employment in the UK. One MUST be fluent in good English. Possessing Portuguese Nationality has certainly helped Goan doctors in the UK. They have had a a better chance than non-Portuguese-Goans with similar skills - for jobs in the UK. PS: All of us would do well to learn another language. Goans would do well to learn Portuguese, Spanish and French. In Goa, there are facilities to study Portuguese and French. Smart Goans would surely take advantage of these facilities. jc
