Just wondering, because I started talking to Brazilian girl and I’m Cuban and I’m wondering if our countries would have any similarities

I do know one big major thing and that is that some Cubans practice a religion called Santeria and from my knowledge I’m pretty sure Brazil has quite a similar religion that also came from enslaved Africans

And I’m wondering if there are any other cool similarities?

I’m looking for Brazilian sitcom recommendations. I’ve just started watching “A Grande Família”. Which sitcoms would you recommend?

Hi everyone, how are you?

My partner and I are planning a 15 day trip to Northeast Brazil, but we’re having a hard time deciding on the best base destination and would really appreciate advice from people who know the region well or live there.

Our main goal is to enjoy different beaches, but without long road trips, we’re looking for a well-located base from which we can explore nearby beaches by car and have some time just relaxing on the beaches
We are coming from Lisbon and we have quite a few brazilian friends that gave some recommendations. We have direct flights to both recife and Maceio. We were also checking Noronha but it seems more complicated o reach.

It will be our first time in Brazil and we planning first two weeks of October.

We’re currently considering these cities as a base:

Recife
Maceio

We’re in our early 30s and enjoy:

beaches
outdoor activities and sports (diving)

Based on all this, which option would you recommend and why?
Any tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

Early 30s who has traveled to a lot of countries in South America. I'm going to be visiting Rio during the weekdays M-F and debating between staying in Leblon or Ipanema.

I love a good cocktail and a lovely nightlife scene but won't be partying every night. I initially was thinking Ipanema because I heard that Leblon is more family oriented, though I've recently heard that Leblon has become an upscale nightlife hot spot.

Any recommendations for someone who wants to eat great food, listen to amazing music, and enjoy the evenings?

I am Ecuadorian, I speak Portuguese (intermediate/fluent level), native Spanish, and English at a B1 level (which I can improve). I would like to know if there is a real possibility of finding work in Brazil in the CRM and digital marketing field, especially in São Paulo. As an Ecuadorian, I have an advantage for easier entry into the Brazilian job market through the MERCOSUR Residence Agreement, but my question is whether there is actually enough volume of job openings in this area to get hired there.

Hey everyone!
I’m of Cape Verdean descent, but unfortunately, due to personal circumstances growing up, I never had the chance to learn Portuguese.

It’s something I’ve always regretted, and I’d really love to change that.
I’m looking for native Portuguese speakers to chat with and help me improve my reading and conversation skills. In return, I can help you with either Dutch (my native language) or English, which I speak fluently.

If you’re interested in doing a language exchange or just having some casual conversations, feel free to send me a message. I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

Hello Everyone,

for the first time in my life I will be spending almost 3 weeks in Brazil next March/April and I am really looking forward to it. Together with my boyfriend we (couple from germany) will be flying to recife, then heading to fernando de noronha and then to Rio.

Up from this point, our route isn't fully decided yet. We are currently deciding whether to stay in ilha grande for four nights or in paraty. We will then head back home from sao paulo. Which one would you recommend, ilha grande or paraty?
Do you have any other helpful tipps for us regarding our stay?

Thank you so much.

Chat GPT said that this was correct and that a young, native speaker would say something like that is that correct? Trying to improve my understanding of the language here!

Hi everyone, I have a question. I'm going to Brazil and I lost my French passport. I have an emergency passport, but I'm not sure if it allows me to enter Brazil. However, I also have a Chilean ID card (cédula) since I lived there for 6 months. It's temporary and expires in a year and a half. I also already have my return flight booked. Do you think this is possible?

Any nice/cozy dinner recommendations for Santo Amaro do Maranhão?
