I have 2 Brazilian friends who speak English very well. They do have an accent which all non-native English speakers will have. It does not interfere will their ability to be understood. I do notice that sometimes they will have a strange pronunciation of a word, and one word that comes to mind is the word "Skype". My friends Brazil always pronounce it as Skyp pe. I would like to make friends with you just so I could hear you speak and tell you more about the characteristics of your accent. I am NOT asking you to take a lesson or anything, because I know you are curious to know how you sound. I am an examiner for the TOEIC test and I listen to thousands of different accents so I am curious also. If you want to add me on Skype and talk it is ok. My Skype name is annette.picconi. Take care.

There is no way to generalize the accent of Brazilians speaking English. Your accent is based on a number of characteristics such as whether you are male or female, where you grew up, your proficiency in English etc.
But from experience I have noticed that most people from other countries whose native language is not English, they tend to forget to include the determiner in sentences.
For example, instead of saying ' I ate an apple', they would say 'I ate apple'.
