The Brazilian People

(source)
In the beginning of December, I wrote about why and how I taught myself Portuguese. The reason I wrote about the subject is that of all the questions I usually get asked, it ranks in the top three. The other two are “Why do you like Brazil?” and…well, it’s not exactly a question, per se, but it should be. The third thing I get asked indirectly, and by Brazilians themselves, is “What is special about us?” Such a question (if a Brazilian were to ask me directly) usually requires that I answer the second question on why I like Brazil, which, by the way, would take several pages to answer thoroughly.
