Orkut is how I semi learnt Portuguese. I added a random Brazilian person as a friend and eventually they started messaging me Portugese words and sentences with their meanings.

It was way better and interactive than DuoLingo and I think a lot of people of my age chase the nostalgia of the unrestricted internet of those days.

Unfortunately I can’t forsee the same happening today.
