I was browsing online to make sure I was registered to vote and stumbled across the Overseas Vote Foundation which led me to the Youth Vote Overseas (a young voters registration site that appeals a bit more to a younger crowd). It blows the Federal Voting Assistance Program website out of the water. The FVAP site looks poor, overloaded with text, and not easy to navigate. Some how I made it through the site two years ago to receive my ballot abroad.

In short, if you’re over the age of 18, abroad, and an American citizen, you should register to vote. Your state’s deadline to register may be approaching. Well, even if you’re not abroad, you should register.

So, as many friends have pointed out over time, I enjoy reading the articles of Wikipedia. I get lost in them sometimes. Well an article that I often find myself returning to is Differences between Spanish and Portuguese. I have contributed to it as well many other articles. If you’re interested in how the two languages relate and contrast it’s a good read.

I also enjoy the Portuguese Reading Workshop. It’s really simple, but helps form a base.

Enjoy!
