Hahahahaha! Very civilized American. Great example of good conduct for membership. You are welcome robal. Read More

Keeping it civil won't be hard for me. Condoning untruths however is, irrespective of the purpose. ''the number of people harmed during all rampages in the US for several years seem like a normal day in Brazil''......that's ... Read More

Spouted off? You don't think you're outta line? If this is a place to express opinions, why is it wrong to have a diverging opinion to Pinto's own. He claimed false 'statistic' and I called him out on it, why do you have a ... Read More

Ok. So, since Brazil wouldn't extradite her criminals to the USA, we all should misbehave as we like and not expected to be extradited. At the end, we can put it down to Brazilian greed and hatred for gringos. Laughable. Have a great day ... Read More

Unfortunately, I really didn't prepare for the exam, thats why I scored the least pass...which was sufficient for what I needed. I later saw real preparation materials with some colleagues. I'll see if I can get them for you. If I do, ... Read More

I needed language proficiency for another reason...academic but I understand it's the official language proficiency test. So, my guess is, it will also serve the purpose. I am in Sao Paulo and I applied here. Read More

I know of the Celpe Bras. I took the exam in 2015 and I passed with the minimum mark allowed. You really need to be proficient to pass because you have to listen to some passages and answer questions about them. Then you do the oral exam with some ... Read More
