While browsing in the Internet for Brazilian recipes I found your site. I'm one of the 10 people who cook by countries every couple of month. We pick them by throwing darts on a map and it's a challenge to figure out what they eat and drink. What music they are listening to and some educationally things I can pass along. We decorate the house as much as we can to make it feel like you are in that country. I'm glad I found your web site and probably don't have to look any further to get ideas. I just want to thank you for providing me with all the info I need. Elke

I love your website, I believe I used to frequent it several years ago and just came across it again. I am first generation American on my father's side. He is from Sao Paulo, Brazil and moved to the US in his twenties. He, unfortunately, never taught any of his children any Portuguese or anything from his Brazilian culture. I have always been curious and have researched things about Brazil over the years. I have 3 children of my own and would love for all of us to know more about our culture. Anyway, I like your website a lot and I am hoping you can lead me in the right direction on getting some exposure to the Brazilian culture for my children and I. Thank you, Dinah

I started trying to learn the Brazilian Portuguese language 3 years ago after a visit to Uberlandia and Rio. It is my aim to return to Brazil and live there because the country is so beautiful, the people are so friendly, the weather is great and the food is wonderful.  Your website is so helpful - I think I have learnt more Portuguese in one visit than I have done in the previous 3 years. You have provided just so much information about everything - not just the language but all other aspects of life in Brazil. Well done. Best regards, Carolyn

Você está de parabéns, tenho alguns amigos do MBA viajando para fazer uma visita ao Brasil e já recomendei o seu site para que eles possam se familiarizar um pouqinho com o Brasil. Depois de ver o site, fico orgulhoso de ser Brasileiro. Que saudades da terrinha... ainda mais agora que é carnaval. Não vejo a hora de voltar em Maio/2010. Já estou contando os dias. Um abraço, Manfredo P.S.: Amei a parte de receitas e já adicionei como bookmark no Internet Explorer. O bolo de cenoura ficou excelente.

I just wanted to thank you for your website. My son brought home two friends from college to celebrate Thanksgiving with us. They are both Brazilian and are a bit homesick. We asked about their typical meals, and they told us about pao de queijo. We purchased some pacote de polvilho and made some pao de queijo last night. They were so happy to have something that reminded them of home. Our entire family enjoyed the pao de queijo. I am going to try some more of your recipes today! I think I might prepare some bisteca de porco frita, feijao, arroz branco, salada de tomate, and banana frita.  I hope they like it. Thank you again.

Foi uma ideia genial de criar a possibilidade de aprender „brasileiro“ via internet. Quero-lhe agradecer por este trabalho magnífico, tenho muita alegria em praticar com a minha filha.

I just want to say that I love your website and I visit every day!  Estou aprendendo muito português!!! My girlfriend/fiancée lives in Goiânia, Brasil right now (minha nacionalidade? Eu sou americano!) and we are hoping to be united very soon. When we met I knew zero Português but now we can write letters and I can understand most of what I am reading. My pronunciation is coming along more slowly and my grammar is still bad…but it’s improving every day! Anyway thank you so much for what you are doing. Love it! Just wanted to say hi and to let you know that you are helping a young couple communicate.

The well organized material and nicely chosen examples along with English translations at the right places and the examples of common problems remind me of the excellent grammar book that I used to read when I was studying English. The internet links to the songs and the lyrics on the website are very useful also. Thank you for your generosity of offering your website to the World for free. Kind regards, Attila

Thank you so much for your website. The information you provided has helped me and a friend very much. Your information is plentiful, enjoyable to work with and put together well. My friend recently went to Brazil on vacation and your website was a big help to her and her husband. While taken ill I met a wonderful Brazilian woman that helped me tremendously. As attractive and unselfish as she was I had  no way to thank her. Thanks to your website I was able too-in her own language. Though I am not able to speak it regularly my confidence level in speaking is weak but she says, 'eu escreve moito bem.' obrigada por tudo, tchau. M. Dana Parsons

Schöne Grüße aus Deutschland von einem Kollegen. Ich bin nämlich ebenfalls Sprachlehrer.

Natürlich habe ich daraufhin auch viel im Internet gesurft und habe so Ihre Seite entdeckt. Sie gefällt mir wirklich ausgezeichnet und es macht viel Freude, sie durchzustöbern. Ich werde also weiterhin immer wieder Ihre ausgezeichnete Website ansteuern, in der Hoffnung, auf diese Weise meine Kenntnisse zu erweitern. Ganz herzliche Grüße aus Düsseldorf von Michael

I think that the content of your website is the most comprehensive one to date. It is easy to read and understand. I found it while browsing on the internet but has since returned many times. It is very helpful - loved the pao de queijo recipe too.

What a fantastic web-site! I am getting to know a Brazilian family – their youngest son (5yrs) is in my daughters class - & wanted to try & understand the culture, maybe be brave enough to try & make them something from your recipe book, & learn a few words. I found it all on your site! Please keep up the great work, I learnt so much. Regards, Lyndal

Recently I had the chance to visit Brazil and fall in love with everything related to it, including the language. I speak 6 languages fluently already so Portuguese couldn't lack in the, hopefully soon it will be seven laguages. I was checking on Facebook and got a link to your website, it's awesome¡¡¡ It has the slang part that doesn't come on any of the Portuguese language courses. Besides all the website is perfectly structured and explained. CONGRATULATIONS and thanks for taking the time to give those advices to the Portuguese language "lovers". Again thanks and congrats. Michel

Andei navegando pelo seu site, nao so achei facil como interessante, principalmente a forma como vc ensina o portugues com a traducao paralela ao ingles. Em todo o meu tempo que aprendi lingua, pensar na traducao era pecado mortal. Achava um absurdo, me sentia um verdadeiro papagaio, repetindo sem ter nocao do que estava falando. Mas era assim que tinha de ser, e eu era obrigada a seguir. Mas hoje a historia mudou. Agora estou do outro lado e me recuso a ensinar os meus alunos a repetir como papagaios sem entender o que estao dizendo. Um abraco, Isabel

I am an interpreter who is fluent in French, English, Creole and I have a working knowledge of Spanish. I have recently had the opportunity to work with some Brazilian colleagues and I find the culture and language fascinating. I will use your website to jumpstart my new language acquisition. Thanks for the great resources.

I was searching for Ivete Sangalo's 'Quando a Chuva Passar' lyrics. I got directed by the yahoo search engine to your website. Which I would say... pretty much helpful in lieu of learning anything about Brazil. I wish I have known your 'site' when I was in New York City. Nevertheless... your website is what people would need to learn everything about Brazil. I wish U good luck.

I recently discovered your website and have been using it to teach myself to read Portuguese. You deserve great praise for the variety, depth, and applicability of each section. The layout is inviting and user-friendly yet also rich in content. One can tell that you love to share Portuguese and that you are passionate about teaching. Congratulations, and thank you! Steven
