Exactly, you are the one who is right. Alma is also a name given to girls as you probably know. "Con toda el alma", literally "with all one's soul", could be translated "whole-heartedly" in English. Maybe that's a reason for your friend to believe what he did.

"Alma" is also a Portuguese word...

Quoting sflor: "Alma" is also a Portuguese word...
meaning soul in Portuguese too. Yeah that's true, for example alma do soldado means the soldier's soul.

And you're welcome ollie_fresh! It's nice with feedback after a translation.
