I agree Portuguese sounds very nice. Do you fine Brazilian Portuguese difficult to understand?

Thank you all for the friendly welcome.
Sorry for correcting, somehow it doesn't feel polite, but that's how we help each other, so here it goes.
'Bem-vindos' is plural, i mean for when the welcome is aimed at more than one subject.
'Bem-vindo' is the correct way for this case.
And it's hyphenated. It's 'bem-vindo' and not 'bem vindo'. Portuguese makes frequent use of the hyphen, but a lot less now that it has been revised to make it simpler and to make it more like the brazilian portuguese.
Regarding brazilian portuguese, we understand it perfectly. Many words are different, or used in a different manner, and many expressions of the spoken language are different, but it's 100% understandable, despite the accent being completely different. Because of this difference in accents we understand brazilian portuguese perfectly but they tend to find it dificult to understand us when we speak a bit faster.
This happens because their accent is much more 'open' and ours is much more closed. I don't know how to explain this technically..
