Polina Rahimova posted that she renewed with Sesi/Bauru. It is in Portuguese, I hope she knows what that means lol
there was a video of her speaking in Portuguese, Is it an easy language to learn?
I don’t know Portuguese so I don’t know if she was fluent or not.

It's not. It's really hard actually (in my opinion), especially because of conjugation of verbs.
Hooker never learned Portuguese and she played in Brazil for 3 years.
However Dobriana came to Brazil already knowing how to speak a little bit and I'm sure she improved because she seemed to really want to learn. I didn't see Polina speaking so I don't know if she is fluent or not.

Hooker actually speaks the language. She posts in Portuguese in her Instagram and answers comments in the same language. There are also videos of her speaking during match interviews and such.

I've never seen any of these videos. Her posts are awful and google-translated with several amateur errors, it's very easy to realize that being a Brazilian. Dobriana's posts are much better and she actually did a live yesterday in which she spoke Portuguese very well. PS: I'm not comparing the two of them, just commenting.
Thompson to Vitra is a done deal?
Well American players have proved times and again they don't put too much effort in learning the language of the country they play in.. It's obviously not shade, and there are exceptions like Logan, who speaks perfect Italian and Portuguese..

Logan does speak Portuguese indeed. She played in Brazil in early 2000s and probably learned at that time, but I think she lost it (forgot most of it) by the time she came back (in 2012). She refused to speak in Portuguese everytime she was interviewed during that season.
Lauren Carlini confirms she will be playing in Turkey with THY.

Well Kim Hill has pretty good Italian. So do Karsta and Haleigh. Chiaka also tried learning the language.

Curious which foreign setter will sign with Eczacibasi now?
Voronkova, Kurilo, Zaytseva and Iurinskaya stay in Kaliningrad. Was hoping that Iurinskaya would move to a weaker club to be a starting player.
Austrian NT outside hitter Monika Chrtianska one more season with Sm'Aesch Pfeffingen.
Gréta Szakmáry one more Season in Schwerin.
Ok, so this is still a rumor. I asked because I thought she or the club had said something. Thanks.
it is still a rumor! i agree. even in some instagram volei accounts, shiela is also being cast as second opposite of tandara in osasco. even tandara is not yet confirmed. but maybe they will release it until the end of May!
