I'm a web developer currently based in upstate São Paulo. I speak English, a bit of Spanish and I'm learning Italian, but here on iTalki I'm aiming to practice my English skills. Hit me up if you're interested in practice Portuguese, or if you just wanna chat a bit.

    I think Paulo Coelho is a good start, his writing is really easy to understand unlike some classical writers.

    Although all of these are correct, I'd say that 'Como você se chama?' fits better when you're speaking, and 'Qual o seu nome?' for writing. Sounds more natural to me. And those answers are both correct, but too formal. I only see people using them when they have to write in a more formal way. For everyday speech, you can answer with just your name if you want. Formal/Scholar: "Qual é o seu nome?" or "Como você se chama?" "Meu nome é ____." ou "Eu me chamo ____." (Very) Informal: "'Como você se chama?" "____."

    Most of Brazilians here in this app will tell you bad things about safety. In general, outskirts/peripheral regions are not safe, but you will probably live in the central areas of the city you will choose to move in. 
    I personally think Sao Paulo is the best place for foreigners like you. You'll not only get to know locals who are willing to help you (and most of them have good speaking skills in English) but you will probably meet other Russians who have been living there for a while. 
    Unfortunately I know nothing about companies that help foreigners to settle in... But Brazilians in general are very friendly to people from other countries.

    "Acreditar" and "Crer" can be used interchangeably. But since I'm not a language teacher, I'm going to give you my opinion as a native speaker: "crer" sounds kinda formal/unusual to me, and I don't see people using "crer" very often. I generally use "Acreditar" when I want to give the meaning of "to believe".

    Which of these sounds more natural/accurate and why? "These people are showing signs of mental illness" or "These people are showing signals of mental illness"

    Em geral, At - referência de posição On - superfícies Então pra dizer que algo está tocando o livro (ou encostado no livro) na parte de trás dele, vc usa "On the back [cover] of the book" (adicionar "cover" na frase traz mais contexto). Já para dizer que algo estaria localizado/posicionado na parte de trás do livro, vc usaria "At the back of the book", mas eu acho que "At the end of the book" faria mais sentido, já que como referência de posição você estaria falando da parte final da história contida no livro. Foi assim que eu aprendi kkkk, talvez algum entendido me corrija se eu estiver errado

    There are too few English speakers learning Portuguese not only here, but in every language-learning social network/app. And that's a shame because they seem to not be interested in actually learning Portuguese at all.
