Except for the missing first and seventh day. Also if you're north western European centric you might have a problem when naming starts on Sunday. Segundo is dinsdag in my mind.
I'll let Sábado and Domingo because they at least reference christianity (a religion that is still widely practiced in the portuguese-speaking world) as opposed to using names of gods no one has worshipped for centuries (like english and spanish do) -- And those days are days of special observations in said religion -- So it makes some semblance of sense.
Fair point on the gods thing but in my language (and also English and German and probably some others) there's one named for the Sun and one for the moon. But yeah I like that the Portuguese don't really make it too complicated or random and just number the days.
I'm an immigrant in Brazil and Portuguese was the third language I learned and I still need to think of all the days of the week if I need to remember Wednesday or Thursday.
