Hi, I'm Álexander (Álex). I am trying to learn Portuguese. I want to be able to communicate in this language, since I have a very ambitious plan: I hope to attend the Rio 2016 Olympics. I would love to be able to communicate as fluently as possible, and not have depend on a phrase book through out my trip the entire time. While in Brazil, I'd like to go to different areas of the city; such as museums, historical points, shops, beaches, and of course the gay bars and hangouts. Although Spanish is my first language (technically), I feel more comfortable speaking in English, since most of my education has taken place here in the USA and I've lived close to half my life here as well. So, if anyone wants to help me out, that would be great. In return I can offer my help in teaching you English or Spanish. Muito Obrigrado :-)
