Hi there!

I'm very eager to try the examples you provided in the videos (NER and insults), but I want to apply them in my own language. I'm trying to create a word vector model from existing Portuguese word embeddings I have, but I got an exception from spacy.

There's an issue I opened here in spacy:

> I was trying to load pre-trained Portuguese word vectors into spacy, because I'm trying to replicate @ines's training an insults...

If you can indicate a solution or alternative for me to proceed with this, I would appreciate.

Thanks!

Thanks @ines, replied there too! Got a different error this time.
