Here is a quick explanation about music in Brazil that I found  on Lonely Planet :

Brazilians are among the most musical people on the planet, and music is undoubtedly the most highly developed art form here. Wherever you go, you’ll find people playing, singing and dancing. Perhaps because of its African roots, Brazilian music is a collective community act, a celebration, a festa, and is virtually inseparable from dancing. Genres like pagode, samba, frevo, forro and lambada all have their dances. 

Shaped by the mixing of varied influences from three continents, Brazilian popular music has always been characterized by great diversity. The samba canção (samba song), for example, is a mixture of Spanish bolero with the cadences and rhythms of African music. Bossa nova was influenced by samba and North American music, particularly jazz. Tropicalismo, in the l960s and 1970s, mixed influences ranging from bossa nova and Italian ballads to blues and North American rock. Brazil is still creating new and original musical forms today.(From the Lonely Planet guidebook Brazil, 5th edition, 2002).

By the way, Gotye enjoys Brazilian music so much that he used a sample from the Brazilian song: Seville, on his major hit: Somebody that I used to know.

If you enjoy listening Brazilian music , I recommend the Podcast of Caipirinha Appreciation Society.

The Portuguese language is now the fifth most common language “spoken” on the internet. Data released by the International Telecommunications Union show that the Portuguese language has already surpassed the Arabic, French and German as languages ​​with the greatest number of users surfing the web. According to the entity, the growth of the web in Brazil over the past decade largely explains this prominent place of the language.There are least 83 million people worldwide using the Portuguese network. Experts say that in  few years Portuguese can overtake the Japanese – now with 99 million users on the network – and occupy the fourth place.

 The reason for this is that the increase in web usage in Brazil, Angola and Mozambique still would have a long ways to go before reaching the same levels of penetration of rich countries, while in Japan the reality points to a technological “maturity”. Proof of this is that there are already more Portuguese speakers on the web than the 75 million Germans and the 60 million users that speak French. Arabic, despite being spread out throughout different regions of the world, today has a internet user population lower than Portuguese, with 65 million.

The predominant language of the internet continues to be English, with 565 million users. But, if this domain was full ten years ago, today he faces the threat of China. The number of people who use primarily Chinese web already reaches 510 million people. The third place is Spanish, with 165 million users. For experts, the influence of a language will be measured in a few years in the world precisely because of its use on the Internet.

Politics

Counting the number of users in each language isn’t just an indication of its culture’s influence. The governments of emerging countries are pressing the International Telecommunication Union to adopt a stronger position in relation to the defense that there is more control by governments over a web that is now largely dominated by technology companies from rich countries. This week, in Geneva, the ITU is holding another debate on the subject and, once more, emerging countries will press them for a greater interference of the  government on the future of the web.

There are at least three groups of countries with different opinions. On one side, Americans and Europeans insist that the Internet needs to continue its semiprivate trajectory, without larger State influence. Emerging countries say this position is “cynical”, since the same company that establishes web domains is from a project headed by the American government. “What the US wants is the non-involvement of other governments on the web. But they continue having a clear  influence”, said a director of a regulatory agency in South America.

Control

On the other end are countries like Russia, which defend State control on the web. In an middle position is Brazil, since Brasília insists that one of its goals is to guarantee a larger “democratization” of global management of the Internet.

If you’re  learning Portuguese and know some Spanish, chances are that the conjugation for the present indicative tense will be an easy task for you.

Like Spanish, Portuguese has three verb conjugations, AR, ER, IR. The present indicative forms are made by removing the infinitive ending of the verb (-ar, -er or -ir) and replacing it with an ending that indicates who is performing the action of the verb. To take one example, the infinitive form of the verb that means “to study” is estudar. Its infinitive ending is -ar, leaving the stem of estud-. To say “I study,” add -o to the stem, forming estudo. To say “you study” (singular informal), add -a to the stem, forming habla. Other forms exist for other persons.The endings are slightly different for verbs that end in -er and -ir, but the principle is the same. Remove the infinitive ending, then add the right ending to the remaining stem.

One of the major differences is that the Portuguese word for “you” is “você.” Portuguese speakers do not generally use the second person “tu.” This does vary from region to region and from one dialect to another, but “você” is heard everywhere in Brazil and conjugated as a third person.

The following examples show the conjugations for each of the three infinitive types. The added endings for each verb are indicated in boldface.

-ar

 verbs (example verb

estudar 

, to study)

• eu (I) — estudo (I study)
• tu (you, singular informal and not very common in spoken Brazilian Portuguese) — estudas (you speak)
• ele (he), ela(she), você (you, singular formal) —estuda (he studies, she studies, you studies)
• nós(we) — estudamos (we study)
• vós (you) — estudais (you study)
• eles (they), elas (they), vocês (you, plural, formal) — estudam (they study)

-er

 verbs (example verb

aprender 

, to learn)

• eu (I) — aprendo (I learn)
• tu (you, singular informal) — aprendes (you learn)
• ele (he), ela (she), você (you, singular formal) — aprende (he learns, she learns, you learn)
• nós(we) — aprendemos (we learn)
• vós  (you, plural informal) — aprendeis (you learn)
• eles (they), elas (they), vocês (you, plural, formal) — aprendem (they learn, you learn)

-ir

 verbs (example verb abr

ir 

, to open)

• eu (I) — abro (I open)
• tu (you, singular informal) — abres ( you open)
• ele (he), ela (she), você (you, singular formal) — abre (he opens, she opens, you open)
• nós (we) — abrimos (we live)
• vós (you, plural informal) — abris (you open)
• eles (they), elas (they), vocês (you, plural, formal) — abrem (they open, you open)

Note that the conjugations above are for verbs that follow the regular conjugation. Although most verbs conjugate regularly, the most common verbs usually do not (just as in English, where verbs such as “to be” and “to go” are highly irregular). A useful website that will help you to conjugate verbs in Portuguese is conjuga-me.

Majority of the restaurants include at the bottom of the final bill a  service fee  (taxa de serviço) of 10% – not mandatory – that in Brazil is already considered  as “gorjeta” (tip) . Most people do pay it unless there’s a good reason not to (e.g. a very bad service ).

Errata:

Previously, I posted 8 books and courses, however I mentioned Pimsleur audio course twice. I’ve also corrected the links. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Ler um livro – Read a book.

Here you can find a fine choice of Brazilian authors. For something more contemporary there is another list. However if you want to learn about  the Brazilian culture, I recommend : The Brazilian People: The Formation and Meaning of Brazil from Darcy Ribeiro.

Assistir um filme- Watch a movie.

This list on IMDb website is a good start. In this youtube channel you can watch more than 100 Brazilian movies. Movies that I recommend: O palhaço (The Clown) directed by Selton Mello, and Meteoro.

Escutar música- Listen to music.

Brazilian Rolling Stone magazine enlisted the 100 best  Brazilian albums.

Correr- Jogging.

There is no secret for that, although I recommend the website couch to 5 k, it’s available in various languages.

Fazer faxina – Do the cleaning. Just select some nice music and faça a faxina (do the cleaning).

The reasons to learn a second language are usually related to relocation or employment reasons,the truth is that once you learn Portuguese understanding other Romance languages as Spanish and Italian and even French are one step away. Here are enlisted some reasons:

Start up Program by the Brazilian government

• Job advantage: Brazil belongs to the BRIC group, an acronym for ‘Brazil, Russia, India and China’, which means its economy has grown rapidly during the last years. During the next few years, more jobs will open up in Brazil and Brazilian companies will also expand their operations into more countries around the globe. So, you just might find yourself moving to Brazil to work or having a competitive advantage over colleagues at your company if you speak Portuguese. Another important fact is that Brazil is member of the CPLP-Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa (The Community of Portuguese Language Countries),an intergovernmental organization for friendship among Portuguese-speaking nations, where Portuguese is an official language. There are seven member countries: Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and São Tomé and Príncipe.To know more about working in Brazil access : Work in Brazil (http://www.workinbrazil.org). To read about the startup program click here.

Brasil Voluntário-The Brazilian government volunteer program for the 2014 World Cup.

• Volunteer opportunities: You might have dreams of becoming a volunteer abroad; why not in a Portuguese speaking African country or in Brazil during the 2014 FIFA World Cup? Many institutions organize annual voluntary missions to promote the development of those countries. Whether you are a doctor, a nurse, a cook, a nutritionist, a teacher or just a simple citizen desiring to help and experience something new and exciting! To know more about volunteering in Brazil access www.volunteersouthamerica.net. To know more about the Volunteer Program for the world cup access : www.brasilvoluntario.gov.br.

Member Countries of the CPLP

• Multilingualism: With approximately 280 million speakers (210 to 215 million native), Portuguese is the 5th or 6th most spoken language in the world, the 3rd most spoken language in the western hemisphere, and the most spoken language in the southern hemisphere. Once you learn how to speak Portuguese, learning Spanish, French and Italian becomes much easier. For example, the word ‘example’ is exemplo in Portuguese,ejemplo in Spanish, esempio in Italian and exemple in French. Actually, a Portuguese can easily learn how to speak Spanish, French, Italian and even English, in part, because of the similarity between many of the words. If you want to learn Portuguese , I teach it online via skype (limited number of students) and I am also a freelance translator: revise.portuguesetalk.com. Other website where you can learn about Brazilian Portuguese is: streetsmartbrazil.com.

Aerial View of Rio de Janeiro

• Traveling: Majority of the countries that are part of CPLC (Community of Portuguese Language Countries) are considered holiday destinations due to their paradisiacal and exotic landscapes. Then, being able to speak Portuguese might be useful if you are planning on coming to the 2014 FIFA World Cup or  2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro!

Hipoteca is defined as a debt instrument that is secured by the collateral of specified real estate property and that the borrower is obliged to pay back with a predetermined set of payments. Mortgages are used by individuals and businesses to make large purchases of real estate without paying the entire value of the purchase up front. The term originates from the Latin and Greek languages, being spelled as hypotheca and hypóthiki , respectively. In English, the term was borrowed from the French mortgage , which means “dead pledge” .

This type of financing, hipoteca was not popular in Brazil until 2004. The main reason was the instability of the judiciary system  that couldn’t to ensure that, in the absence of payment, the bank would receive the property, because the 1988 Constitution and federal laws.  With the Law of Fiduciary Alienation known in Portuguese as  Lei de Alienação Fiduciária, the banks could sell properties and guarantee their rights ownership rights.

Examples

-  Eu terminei de pagar a hipoteca dos meus pais em 2012.

I finished paying off my parents’ mortgage in 2012.

 -Ronaldo fez apenas pagamentos parciais daquela hipoteca por  três meses em 2012.

Ronaldo made only partial payments on that mortgage for 3 months in 2012.

-  O programa de hipotecas, subsidiado pelo governo aos credores, tem tido muitos problemas desde o seu início em 2011.

The mortgage program, subsidized by government to lenders, has had many troubles since its introduction in 2011.

-  A média da taxa de hipoteca fixa de 30 anos vai subir para 2 por cento ano que vem.

The average on the 30-year fixed mortgage rate will rise to 2 percent next year.
