Portuguese speaking f-list members?

So, say one was writing smut fic based in Brazil, and needed a couple of phrases in spanish for the purpose of setting the, well setting?  My Spanish class was fifteen years ago, and the only thing I can remember is Hola and el bano.  Well, I can remember a little more, but not much.

Help  me out, what's the right way to say "Are you all right?"  I'm pretty sure the correct answer ("Yes, fine") to the phrase is "Si, bien."  Am I wrong?

Oh, wait.  The language in Brazil is Portuguese, right?  Crap, anyone know that?  It's not a big deal, really.  I can change the scene so no actual dialogue takes place.

randomeliza, I know you spent some time in Brazil, so if you happen to see this while I'm still working on the drabble (I use that term very loosely), maybe you could give me some highlights for sights, smells, sounds...if not, well, it's not too important.  *tells self, remember Rhien, this is only a drabble for smut, not a full on fic that needs complete fleshing out*  Right, but it's always so much better if I have the little bits of extra stuff in there, too.

Is this going to be the follow up to the Sarkney drabble? Because if it is, can I just say SQUEEE! Which makes me realize that I forgot to comment on your Sarkney drabble, bad me. I think it's because you turned my brain to mush with that one. It was just, GAH. I couldn't even tell you the last time I read some Sarkney fic, but now I'm dying for more. I'd forgotten their energy, their chemistry, and just how freaking hot they were. And of course you captured it all perfectly.

Sorry, but I'm afraid I can't help you at all with the language problems.

Do you still need help with this? Because whatever you need translated I can totally do. it's just fresher's week and a little hectic and I've been out. Was this for the fic you just posted?

Let me know and it'll take me not any time at all to do.

It was for that fic, but I changed the scene to not need much in the way of dialogue, and it works better. So...no help this time, but I may in the future!

That's fine! If you decide that you need any help in the future, do let me know. You remembered well, I do speak Portuguese, and would be happy to help translate (I've done some translation for other LJers in the past, anything that contributes to the cause of more of your fic is totally something I'm all over.)
