Você fala português e quer melhorar sua fluência em inglês?
Depois das mudanças no aplicativo, normalmente não venho muito aqui. No entanto, tenho aprendido português brasileiro regularmente há cerca de dois meses e seria bom se eu pudesse encontrar um parceiro de conversa.
Agora posso entender o português escrito e também um pouco da língua falada. Sou proficiente em inglês, então se alguém estiver interessado em uma conversa, por favor me mande uma mensagem.
Seu idade ou gênero não importa, o que importa é que você fale português e levam a sério o intercâmbio de idiomas.

I came across this report from hrw.org. My question (mainly to Brazilians) is, is this correct?

Are the Brazilian people friendlier and less privacy obsessed than most of the world?
While I haven't met anyone from Brazil in person, I've come in contact with a fair number of them to various degrees through my various language apps and platforms ever since I started learning Portuguese some two months ago, and this has been my personal experience (oops, very long sentence).

Por que os dias da semana são apenas números ordinais em português e por que a segunda-feira começa no número dois? Eu ainda tenho que contar o número de dias começando com dois, o que parece estranho.
Also, while Monday is the second day and Friday is the sixth day, the weekend days are not numbered but named as in rest of the world. In fact they are named just the same as in Spanish, sábado and domingo.

I was just now watching a video on marine life by a guy who was clearly a native English speaker. However when he said "the seas support an enormity of marine life", that sounded decidedly off. I paused the video and came here to ask this: so far as I know, the word "enormity" always has a negative connotation (enormity of the blunder) and shouldn't be used in that phrase to mean enormous diversity / numbers. Do you think he used it correctly?

Learning Portuguese when one knows Spanish is like a shadow boxing game. One almost knows what is being said but not quite.
Cognates are galore, such as praia (beach) versus playa and even identical words such as idioma (language). But then there is janela (window) which is ventana in Spanish and jantar (dinner) which is cena.
That apart, Portuguse pronunciation is muito diferente and not so simple as Spanish. In short, it still needs effort.
Is anyone here in a similar situation?

How do you improve your listening comprehension and speaking ability in your target language?
I believe that there is no substitute to actually speaking with a real person. The only way to handle real time conversation is to converse. It helps that I love to know other cultures even if I'm not learning their language but they are learning English. This is something that can't be done with books, videos, movies or apps, only with real persons. Is it any different for you?

Is there no difference between many / a lot (mucho) and very (muy) in Portuguese?
I find the same word (muito) being used in both situations.
1. Many thanks / muchas gracias = muito obrigado
2. She is very happy / ella está muy feliz = ela está muito feliz
The Spanish equivalents are given as a parallel reference.

What is your language learning style?
There are fundamentally two styles, depending on available opportunities and personal preferences:
1. Passive: mostly reading and writing, whether offline or online. This is the most usual approach for schools and therefore most students.
2. Active: mostly listening (not merely passive hearing) and speaking (with people, not apps). This is less common, even among adults who are free and able to explore alternatives.

If your target language is NOT English, why are you learning it?
(It's fairly obvious why most people learn English so I exclude that case)
