Brazil is a Luso-African culture, meaning that its roots are primarily in Portugal and Africa. Therefore, the language is Portuguese. Never use Spanish unless invited to do so. In Brazil, it's Brasil. Brazilians' pace of living is slower than the pace in many other countries, and negotiation demands ongoing personal contact. It is rare for important business deals to be concluded by telephone or letter. The slower pace of business negotiation does not mean that Brazilians are less knowledgeable than others of industrial technology or modern business practices.

This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete Brazil guide.
