Hey guys it's me JJ and I'm back in my room.
So I'll be honest.
I haven't even done this in a while because I pre-recorded my videos so the problem with
that is when your channel hits a milestone you are still there from a week ago.
7,000 subscribers.
So, oh my god.
Over 10,000 subscribers.
Holy guacamole.
Thank you so much!
So there's a lot of new people here so hi, I'm JJ.
But anyways to get to the point of this video, here are five misconceptions that I have noticed
and some of them are misconceptions by me or misconceptions by America as a whole.
We just think these things.
First misconception was my personal own and I've told people this.
When I was in the US I thought that Brazilian food was like Mexican food and I don't really
like Mexican food because it has a lot of tomato and stuff in it.
So I was kind of nervous.
I really didn't know anything about Brazilian food.
I knew all of these other random facts and stuff but food I just never really came across.
But yeah it's definitely not like Mexican food, they definitely do not use as much tomatoes.
In the US I hated spaghetti and lasagna because they use marinara sauce and I hate it.
Here they don't use marinara sauce as much.
Here it's like this tomato sauce that's really like thin and light and I love it.
So I eat it here all the time, I eat spaghetti all the time, I eat lasagna all the time.
It just doesn't have marinara and ugh I hate that.
Okay and this one is a misconception from my family.
I think a lot of Americans as well, and I before I went on exchange, we just don't
know how it is in the world.
So my family was saying you're not going to have wifi when you're in Brazil and they
thought Brazil didn't have wifi.
And I was like, I'm pretty sure wifi is a global thing.
I think it's pretty normal but who knows.
No one really knows that but that's the second misconception.
Brazil does have wifi.
I mean it depends where you are, but it does have wifi.
Okay so this third misconception still gets to me today. So in the US we're used to seeing
people from all races.
Not like everyday, but if you go to a big city you'll see people of all races from
all over the world.
So when I first came to Brazil it was so hard for me because I would see, I really never
imagined seeing asian people in Brazil.
I don't know why.
I hope that's not rude or anything.
But so whenever I see them I think, oh someone who knows English because my brain is wired
that if anyone's from a different race they're from the US.
I couldn't imagine other races learning another language that wasn't english.
It sounds really dumb when I say it out loud.
But that was it.
Because we're used to seeing America has all these mixed races and everyone learns english
here but the same thing happens for about any other country.
Especially Brazil because they take in a lot of different races, it's really mixed.
I was really surprised.
So those people most of them are probably born into this country and never knew english
and probably only know portuguese.
And it's just like what a weird concept for me.
I don't know why it's so hard for my mind to wrap around.
I mean now I'm getting used to it but it's just weird.
Okay and then the fifth one is that people always say this and I think it is true, depending
what region you go to.
A really big reputation for Brazil is that no one knows english.
I have videos I made before I came to Brazil that kind of share some of those misconceptions
that I even had.
What I decided is when it becomes a year since I posted the video then I'll react to it.
I mean it'll be a year in like March.
Everyone says, yeah no one knows english there JJ, you need to make sure you learn your portuguese.
Blah blah blah.
And I was scared but kind of excited because I thought, yay I won't be able to speak my
language from my home country because other exchange students that don't speak english
never speak the language of their home country.
And I'm think gosh darn it!
I wish I could have that experience.
I think that would be really cool but I didn't even say the point.
So a lot of people here speak english here in Brazil.
As you could see if you saw the "Inside a Brazilian Mall".
We went out to someone and they spoke english.
And that was just by chance.
So I think a lot of people speak english if not just a little something, but it also probably depends
on the region.
I bet if you go to the northeast maybe for that case, no one speaks english.
I don't know but for my region a lot of people speak english.
And a lot of people in the Rotary club at least speaks a little english.
Okay so those are my five (four) misconceptions but comment down below a misconception that you
may have about America or maybe a misconception that you've heard about Brazil that I didn't
mention or that you think should be added and maybe I'll make another video.
Make sure to put a comment down below.
