This! If it was named anything more random than "brazil" with ia stuck on the end though I'd forget it everytime.

I think its harder to tell the difference between the accent of Brasilia and some parts of Brazil, its not much the way the words are said but the words that we use. Like "vei" means "dude", no other place in Brazil use this word (I guess), and we say it a lot. the history of the city contributes for this. Brasilia was planned, built in 1945 and people from all Brazil came to live here, so they ended up mixing a lot of accents to make our own... INTERESTING FACT The project of the city was called "Plano Piloto", means "Plain Project", the whole city was planned to make the shape of a Plain. Go to Google Maps, search Brasilia, zoom in and observe the shape of the city i can tell when they speak english, for some reason people from different regions develop different english accents, i dont know if i can tell where a brazilian is from if hes speaking portugese as i dont know the language. when i hear people talk i try to hear the voices of the following people in my head rio de janeiro - renzo gracie curitiba - wanderlei silva belem - machida its kinda strange how similar others from those regions sound when they speak english

haha its absurd how similar wanderlei and shogun sound when they speak english, seems like they learned from the same teacher
