About Brazil

Brazil is a country where Portuguese is the official language and Brasilia is the capital. This learning guide uses a small, checked set of facts about an IPHAN-recognized food craft, Brasilia, September 7, Frevo, and population data. It teaches a useful habit for cultural English: name the source, keep dates with claims, and do not make one record speak for every person or place.
