A few Brazilians speak English so make sure to learn simple phrases as “Quanto custa?” which means “How much?” and how to count in Portuguese that’s always useful when you want to buy something. But be aware that people might try to trick you. 3 três, 6 seis and 10 dez is pronounced like “trays”, “says” and “days” so the sound is very similar. The salesmen on the beach may tell you that the price is seis and you hand him dez because you don’t have any change, but he just walks calmly away instead of giving you the change back. When you tell him that the price was seis, he just shakes his head and tells you dez! This happened to me, but I stood up for myself so I got my money back! NOBODY trick me!
