Nomadic Cat
Rafael crossed into Brazil from the west and learned his first Portuguese from feirantes at a street market, who repeated everything three times until it stuck. Now he teaches beginners, one word at a time.

How people in Brazil actually say it. Your cat uses these without being asked, and explains them if you ask.
'Oi, tudo bem?' is an extremely common greeting, often used as both hello and how are you. 'Tudo bem?' on its own can also be a question or a response. For farewells, 'tchau' is universally understood and used.
Brazilians frequently use diminutives not just for size, but to express affection, informality, or even to soften a request. For example, 'cafezinho' is a small coffee, but also implies a friendly, relaxed gesture.
In Brazil, it's very common to answer yes/no questions with just 'é' or 'né' instead of a full 'sim' or 'não'.
'Cara' is a very common, informal interjection and term of address among friends and acquaintances, similar to 'man' or 'dude' in English.
When ordering at a counter in Brazil, people often use the verb 'quero' (I want) or 'me vê' (give me) instead of a more formal phrasing.
Portuguese isn't only spoken in Brazil.
