My kid is in France learning how to become a Brazilian, calling soccer "football" and complaining... [View all]

...about the "dirty tactics" the Swiss used against Brazil in the World Cup.

He shares his office in the lab with four Brazilians, who he says, speak a language that sort of is to Spanish what German is to English.

The Brazilians, he says, are "just like Americans."

After work, his new friends invite him to play "football."

Some day, he says, he'd like to spend time learning Portuguese.

Should I be concerned?
