- Summary:

This booklet was designed to facilitate interactions and communication with the people of Brazil by providing information about their customs, attitudes and other cultural characteristics which influence their actions and values. A brief description of Brazil is given, covering the following: its size and geography, history, language, economy, transportation system, education, religions, sports, and pastimes. Attitudes toward time and work, individualism, machismo, religion, and the family are explained briefly, and the Brazilian emphasis on friendliness in conversation and tendency to skirt "unchangeable" obstacles are explained through descriptions of realistic situations involving American visitors to Brazil. A self-test is given after each situation. A list of useful Portuguese phrases is provided, and information is also given on: greetings, gestures, conversation, candor, customs and courtesies, signs, shopping, the monetary system, public transportation, telephones, the postal system, eating out, telling time, holidays, international road signs, clothing sizes, and weights and measures. A brief bibliography is provided. (SW)
