It's not recommendable to mix up European and Brazilian Portuguese, because you'll learn a mixture of both and then you'll not be speaking like a Portuguese, nor like a Brazilian, so it won't really make sense. In case you're interested in knowing the differences, you can read an answer of mine about that, here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgFip...

I hope this helps.

I really like The Azores. It is very picturesque and the dairy products are wonderfully tasty. There is probably too much creole in Cape Verdi.

The dialect might be a bit different from Lisbon, but it is closer than Brazilian.

If you want to stay in Iberia, I think I'd try to go to a small town on the coast. Lisbon is a big city and people are concerned with their daily tasks. Perhaps they are too busy for conversation with you.

I fly with the US Air Force and have visited Brazil, Lisbon and Lages in the Azores. My host in Lisbon took me to a wonderful restaurant on a cliff north of town overlooking the violent Atlantic surf.

Good luck.
