What are the negative sides of living in Brazil? Brazil is one of the most beautiful countries on the planet. It enjoys a plethora of advantages to give it a pride place in the committee of nations. I love to talk about its football prowess. This is in addition to many other good places you find Brazil in the agriculture and natural resources. Yet like every country, Brazil has its own set of disadvantages. Some of them can be so serious to some people that they could because of them shelve their visit to the country, not to talk of living in Brazil. However, objectivity may make some of them appear lighter. For the purposes of information and education, here are the dark sides of living in Brazil.
1. The perception of their country by foreigners affects Brazilians' feelings towards it
For some reason, Brazilians are extremely concerned about how other people see their country. While they could complain about their government and the worst features of the Brazilian culture, they become agitated and defensive when they hear a foreigner make the point.
In an online survey to determine Brazilians’ view of outsiders’ perception of their nation, practically every respondent had something negative to say about their home country. There were only one or two comments that were supportive of the true image being presented. This mindset has a great deal to do with the social culture of Brazil. Brazilians might get emotionally connected to the image of their country as if it were their personal images.
This doesn’t appear to be the case in western countries of Europe or the United States. Many Americans, for example, are inclined to agree with foreigners when they condemn their country. Some Americans, on the other hand, are so self-absorbed that they are unable to allow the perspectives of individuals from other nations to even penetrate their consciousness, let alone influence it. They just believe that America is the finest country on the planet.
2. Brazilians don't correct other people's Portuguese
If you are a student of Portuguese, you will find living in Brazil unhelpful because Brazilians prefer not to criticize gringos when they make mistakes in their Portuguese. This failure to correct foreigners’ Portuguese hinders their progress toward mastering the language and fluency and stunts their Portuguese language skills. Perhaps the reason Portuguese is considered a difficult language to learn is that Brazilians don’t assist outsiders in learning the language.
Sure, you don't want to correct everything that someone says. But when you hear someone saying something incorrectly, using a term that no one else uses, or mispronouncing a word, it’s kind to tactfully and politely correct him. The fact that you understand what he’s attempting to communicate doesn’t mean that everyone else does.
I understand that Brazilians are only trying to be kind and are quite sensitive to the feelings of others. If they correct the person they're talking to, they don't want to come across as a know-it-all or as arrogant in their approach. But that is a dark side of living in Brazil. Most learners appreciate it when they’re corrected since it helps grow in their knowledge of the language. You don’t need to organize or be in a class to fix someone's errors.
