I was thinking about taking up Portuguese as a second language. I want to travel to Angola, Brazil and Cape Verde in the future. But I also want to travel to other countries in Africa in which French is the official language. What should I take up? Also, what is meant by pidgin English?

Pidgin English a is sort of language derived from English combined with the local language. It is common in some parts of Polynesia and Melanesia.
It is regarded by some as improper or corrupted English, but in some places it has taken on a life of its own as a separate legitimate language.
