Think it was out of respect for her new country.

As much as I respect that point of view I think it a shame that her native language was not taught in parallel. It was part of her and her decendents heritage. I learned Portuguese and English together. Caused some interesting blank looks when I came to the US finally because I always used the word that best described what I wanted to say, be it Portuguese or English.

Garoto, rapaz, ou homem no Portugues.

Garoto is more slang than actual Portuguese.

No, I just told you the Portuguese equivalents of the Spanish word, guapo. I wouldn't make fun of anyone in a language they did not understand. Learned that a long time ago...
