Speak your mind. I, a Brazilian, have notice that I have a knack for English literature. As a matter of fact, I have a deep interest for England as a whole. The history; the dialects; the people; the clothes. I'm asking this because if someday me or one of my Brazilian pals go to England, I want to already be prepared for anything. (Yes, not everyone is like everyone. Some people are accepting and some are not, but I'd like a more 'general' idea, even if it's from the internet.)

Great people! One of my flatmates a few years ago was a Brazilian girl and she slotted in with us English really well, she was super nice and shared lots of the same values, and I don’t think ever felt out of place.
Also, as a Newcastle fan I have an added affection for Brazilians because of Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton.
People will be welcoming for sure, and there’s quite a large Brazilian population in England I think – so it might worth finding some online groups ‘Brazilians in England’ (or something similar) and asking how get they on
Well I personally like you guys because I think of you as being the distant cousin of our good old mate Portugal (sorry if that offends you because of the colonial history, just what immediately comes to mind). Overall vibrant and fun people who are very friendly and outgoing and open to new experiences and the life of the party.
If you ever visited England I’m sure everyone will be glad to have you here – you’re always welcome in England!
Going on my experience of Brazilian women l thought they were amazing if a little crazy so transferring that to Brazilian men I would say you would be very popular job wise depends on your level my guess is that you are better off in Uk as to where to live down south is expensive but you will have more opportunities, up north it’s cheaper but less opportunity’s with the added drawback of accents and regional culture ie you may think you know England but London England is totally different from Newcastle England
You’ll be fine, there are quite a lot of Brazilians around in the UK (at least in the cities). In fact there are 50,000 in the last census (2011) and the Brazilian embassy reckons it is more like 200,000 now.
I think the Jean Charles de Menezes incident did bring the community sympathetically to the forefront a bit and there are certainly a lot of Brazilians in London, in fact enough that they have a Brazilian festival every year. Most cities and larger towns will also have a Rodízio (they became popular a few years ago) plus you have the sports aspect so overall, I think it is positive.
There are of course some unsavoury aspects too, a lot of working girls are Brazilian for example, but I think that is a minor consideration for most people.
