10. Brazilians speak with their
hands, so learn some
gestures!
It can be very helpful when
you don’t speak the
language very well.
(but if you study with BRIC you will be fine!)

11. Don’t be the
typical tourist,
carrying around
a
big expensive
camera
or opening
maps in the
street, or
wearing a
fanny pack.
Blend in and be
low profile.

12. Brazilians are helpful, friendly and very talkative.
Don’t be shy and try to interact with locals
