- Just talk slowly and be friendly, Brazilians like it (Believe me I know, I'm one of them). If you have difficulty Spoken English don't use big words. Be simple and direct. If you want pulling chat, praise Brazilian cuisine. Say you love BBQ and have always wanted to eat feijoada. Good luck tomorrow =D0 votedNovember 5, 20142
I agree with you.
Voting is more than a right, it is a responsibility. But I confess I thought about quitting to vote. It's hard to have to choose between a government that does some damage now and one that did much damage in the past, even because the last one also started doing just "some damage" ...
Anyway, I think you need to change the government from time to time. It helps to keep the politicians more interested in doing the best for the people who elect.
0 votedOctober 31, 20140- How about policy around the world?
Last weekend we had Presidential elections here em Brazil. The current president was re-elected and the political party in power for twelve years will rule the country for another four.
Recently, some corruption schemes were discovered but people preferred to continue with the current government because the previous one (the opposition) caused much damage to the country. Brazil is not a bipartisan country, but the fact that there are only two main policy strands reduces our choices.
Anyway, I know there are places around the world where the political system is far less democratic. Curious as I am, it got me thinking ... how is the policy in your country?

October 28, 201440 A little cry for help...
I don't remember my first contact with English. I know it's a universal language, but I can't remember when I began to realize that "windows" and "notebook" (two common words even here in Brazil) came from a different culture and had a meaning beyond what I Knew.
Now I know that "windows" isn't just a series of graphical interface operating systems. Now I know that "windows" are also openings in the walls of houses ("janelas" as we say here in Brazil). But the fact that I know the real translation of that word just makes me enchant me more for it.
There's still a lot of words and terms in English whose meaning I don't know (actually I don't even know if I am writing this text correctly), but I'd really like to learn and that's why I'm here.
And all that you just read up there was only an introduction to say I'm just a Brazilian boy looking for help to learn another language. I hope you guys help me when I need it.
Have a nice day...0 votedOctober 28, 20140- A little cry for help... I don't remember when was my first contact with English.
