Learn Portuguese: Oops, there's no accent there!
Even after a decade since I picked up my first Brazilian Portuguese grammar book, I still wonder about the placement of an accent here or there. Online, there’s tons of blogs and sites in Portuguese that talk about the spelling reform from a few years back, and all the rules that accompanied it. A lot of that information concerns (mostly) accute accents and whether the word is paroxytone or proparoxytone, etc (linguistic terms regarding syllable stress).
Brazilian Culture: Accents Galore in Brazil
(It says there are many accents in Brazil thus everyone should respect each others)
One thing that has always surprised me about Brazil is the number of accents one can find from region to region and state to state. It often feels obligatory, among Brazilians, to mention certain regionalisms when being introduced in a social setting to someone from elsewhere in Brazil. The differences especially enter the conversation when it's found out that someone is from Southern Brazil, Rio, Bahia and, at times, São Paulo.
