- What do you know about Brazil?
I am Brazilian, and within my classroom has a discussion about how foreigners see the country (mainly because of tourism and biggest events that will happen, as the World Cup Soccer and the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro).
So, what do you know about Brazil? Visit if you could? Are you interested in language (portuguese)?May 19, 201310 O Brasil
Hoje eu aprendi um recebi uma noticia muito boa....
1º - "Aprender" it's learn something. "Receber" is when you receive something (can be news, letters, etc.).
2º - "Noticia" is a female word. It's very complicated differentiate words male or female. A clue to differentiate: female words almost always end with the letter "a" (notice I said almost, because there are many exceptions in Portuguese). I say all that, because articles (uma, um, os, as, a, o...) need consent with the subject or the verb. In this case, "noticia muito boa" is female, so your use "uma" female of "um".
É oficial, estou indo ao Brasil! :)
Eu vou ao Brasil em janeiro 2014, então ainda eu tenho muito tempo onde eu posso aprender português. Eu estou tão animada por esta oportunidade, não tenho as palavras descrever como eu me sinto. Agora eu tenho trabalhar mais e estudar mais. Eu sei que eu não vou falar bem porque não estou exposta à língua, mas acho que se eu trabalho muito e se eu falo com pessoas no skype então eu vou falar e pessoas vão entender. Óbviamente eu vou ainda ter um sotaque forte, mas tudo bem. Eventualmente, com pratica, eu vou corrigir.3º - "Onde" which can be used as where. The best word in this case is "para" (in this case, "para" isn't of the verb "parar", but is a word to give a explain).
4º - Here you use the right article (in female and all this stuff), however, in this case, you don't need use this. I marked with green color, because it's a light mistake (include, a lot of brazilians wrong this when talking)
5º - Again, it's not wrong, but the real right way to talk is: "Agora eu tenho que tabalhar e estudar ainda mais". In the other words, you don't need repeat "mais", all you need is put the verbs before the superlative.
6º - The word "trabalhar" means work, like, job. In this case, "estudar" (studying) is better. By the way, reading again this text, instead of "trabalhar" make more sense use "esforçar" (that word means give all of you for complete a task).
7º - "Falo" is present. The right way to use this verb is "falar", because you saying that you will going talk, so still don't happened, but will.
O Brasil está nos meus sonhos e eu vou conhecer logo...tão maravilha :)
Eu sabia que eu poderia encontrar um jeito ir aí!8º - Que maravilha! "Tão" only be used in another conjugation of the verb "maravilhar" that would be "maravilhoso". So "tão maravilhoso!" 're right. Or "que maravilha!" (The last option fits better in your sentence)
Hope this helps.

The country is divided in five regions, being North, Northeast, Midwest, Southeast and South. I live in Southeast, region that has four states very important for history and economy of Brasil. States of that region are Espirito Santo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo. Minas Gerais stands out for their history: city was called this way because formerly had several mines of gold and diamonds (including, has a famous city calls "Diamantina" because of diamonds found there). Rio de Janeiro is a touristic place, known in all world. I've been there a lot of times, but I never get tired. I love beaches and friends that I have in this city. However, a really, really hate the "traditional" songs of this city (like "Funks", a popular music, very played in the periphery of Rio, which I have a very strong and negative opinion). Of couse, it's my personal opinion, a lot of brasilians love this kind of music, so much so that it's played all over the country. The biggest state of southeast (count population), are São Paulo. The city stands for their economy and cultural mix. I love live here, and I don't think of living anywhere else. Have a lot of things that you may do in this city, but my favorite is going in a cinema. One time for year, we have a book fair, and I always be there to. Still have a lot of things to describe about my country (like Notheast region, my favorite after Southeast), but i'm going let for other opportunity.May 19, 201300
