I have spoke with a lot of people who came or are about to come to Brazil, and they all report the same problem: the language
Like outside the big cities and far from the center of this cities or “tourist places”, almost no one speak english. And sorry to say, but this is totally a true story
So, my greatest advice for you today is: let a translator of your trust become your new best friend. And start practicing now, before your big trip
I have been using “Google Translate” on my cell phone and it’s incrible good
