If I had to guess, I would have said that first clip was Polish. Has he got a strong regional accent

I don't remember the folks in Lisbon sounding like that. Although I was running fast and the officers were shouting 'stop or I shoot' in Portugese. Didn't have a lot of time to think about it. And I'm not allowed back to check.

Does Brazillian Portuguese sound similar to Portuguese Portuguese? I know Mexican Spanish and Spanish Spanish are very distinct, maybe I'm more familiar with the Brazillian sound?

No, they don't sound similar, they're very different actually.

This is Brazilian Portuguese:

Thanks for the links! Brazilian Portuguese is definitely what I have in my mind as "Portuguese." While I suspected they would be a little different, I didn't expect they would be that different! That's huge. Thanks again :-P

Oh, and as Drake says, welcome to the site!

Deepwaters, that's beautiful! (though I still like J'en ai marre more.)

It's quite interesting how we can know so little about a person so famous as Alizée. Guess that's just how it goes when you're not in America...

[Ricardo]

Thank you all

Uh, yeah. Sorry. I just got a little excited and I'm not even a linguist!
It's cool that you're creating some you like. Even though obviously great things come out of collaboration, from doing a little computer programming, for example, I know it's satisfying to create something like that just the way you want it.
