My first Interchange

Hello guys, I will arrive in USA twelfth of February. I will live in Green Bay, WI. Can you give me some advices, tips and curiosities about the country?

Felipe, great English! There are a few different ways to write dates. In USA its a bit uncommon to write twelfth of February. It's very usual to write February 12th.

Also, it will be very cold in Wisconsin in February! I hope you pack clothes accordingly.

I think it starts to get warmer around late March up north. I live in Florida so I don't have to deal with the snow!

Tell us, what are your plans in USA? How long, working/studying, then I can help you better.

Oi Felipe!

You've picked up the more British English way of saying a date in it's ordinal (primeiro, segundo, terceiro etc) form. As Brian mentions we don't spell out our ordinal numbers instead we use the suffix (th) but the pronunciation is the same. 27th of January.
