Thanks for the input. Much of what I wrote on the topic also came from Brazilians -- Brazilian cast members -- but I do take your point about "upper class". Brazil certainly has a middle class, but the gap between them and the poor appears to be fairly broad (compared to the US), and I think the "class disrespect" issue explains a lot of what I've seen (though "spoiled brats" also works). I'm happy to hear more about this culture clash though, as I'm sure I've more to learn.Juliana wrote:I am brazilian myself, but I gotta tell you something - I hate brazilian groups.
To Zazu - some of the kids in the groups are spoiled, I won't deny it. But actually, we can't say that most of them are from the upper class....
Hope you can get my point - I most definitely need more than two months to learn English well ]I think your writing is *spectacular* for only having studied English for two months!
And speaking as someone who has *taught* English, trust me -- *nobody* knows this language well, myself included!
