Talking on the phone is something ordinary for most people, and most couples does it regularly, but when one of the persons are struggling with the language this might be harder than it seems. I have to admit that my Portuguese is not good yet, but I am able to talk some on the phone. There are allot of interrupts where we ask each other if we understand, ask to repeat, or similar. But never the less, this trip on work have left me with not many other options, as we haven't installed internet at home yet. The alternative to talking on the phone was to agree on a certain time when my wife could get to an internet cafe and buy one hour, but getting this to fit with my work schedule was not simple, so often I ended up calling her instead. Only two more days, and we will be together again, but the need for calling on the phone will still be there.
We are going to Norway to visit my family, but my step daughter is left behind in Brazil, she needs to go to school, and we have arranged for an adult to look after her and food in the house for the entire trip, but we will need to call her from time to time, so that mother and daughter can have a talk, and I would also say a few words to the girl. After all, she is a part of my family.
