- So, you’re from Rio?
Like, I could be from Rio. But I could also be from tons of other cities in Brazil. Because, you know, it’s the fifth largest country in the world.
- And then… The capital of Brazil is Rio right?
57 years ago, ya. Now it’s Brasília.
- You’re probably a soccer pro!
Actually we don’t have a soccer gene. It’s unfortunate, I know.
- Oh we have to go dancing!
No dancing gene either.
- You speak Brazilian right?
Ya and you speak American right?
- Oh sorry haha Spanish right?
I swear… PORTUGUESE. Say it with me – P O R T U G U E S E.
- I love Brazilian food! I just love spicy food! Can you cook _____?
Again, there is no cooking gene. And I’m sorry to inform you but Brazilian food isn’t spicy at all.
- WHAT?! You don’t look Brazilian!
Brazil is a melting pot. No, not the restaurant.
- Oh wow it must be so scary living there. But it’s probably cool to see monkeys and jaguars just running around everywhere!
First off, no, we don’t live in a war zone. And second, no, we don’t live in a jungle.
- Why is your English so good?
Well I don’t know, why is your English so good?

Ya, I don’t know if I can help you.
