I'm not trying to be negative!! Just an observation.
I have noticed that sometimes when I ask portuguese questions (since I know Spanish as a native admittedly I don't ask too often as not a lot surprises me), it takes quite a while for responses to come in. I get responses much faster for French questions and the fastest for German questions (though there was a time when it also took some time to get answers for French questions, not anymore though).
I admit that sometimes I don't ask because I feel the query may not be replied to. What I'm saying is that there are many here that are learning the language, they may be more "lurking" in behavior though!

I'm currently not studying Portuguese, but I plan to get back to it next year or so (mainly the European variant). I'll probably also keep a log and it would be nice to follow other learners' progress and share information...

I learn Portuguese too, got interested after I started train Capoeira, and suddenly found myself meeting lots of Brazilians with little Norwegian or English knowledge.

It takes quite a while because there's just a few Portuguese speakers using this forum. However, you guys can send me your questions and I'll be happy to answer it.

I made a "best of" among resources for learning Portuguese, particularly useful for someone starting out:
