My name is Karyori. I’ve being in Brazil for two weeks. And I gonna be here till February. I have two weeks with Portuguese classes. So far I really enjoy the class, it is good. And I speak some French, it’s good, so I find it’s more like the same. They have many vocabulary in common, so for me it is good. And... so... I’ve not been studied Portuguese before I came to Brazil... It shouldn’t be like an excuse for me not taking any Portuguese. It is very useful for me, for my career, I think  I need to know my labor here. I find also that the place is good, Brazil, I mean Belo Horizonte. I’ve many friends for being [...] I’ve here for short time but I’ve known a lot of people, they are helping me, specially my housemates, they help me with Portuguese meaning. I find it’s ok, it’s good.
