Brazil is big, First I need to know where to live in Brazil? What do you want to work? and what do you do? because we have many different cultures in different locations. We also one of the worst distributions of income in the world. So you can find several in a Brazil. A very rich and another poor, great development in some states and other very late delayed. In general people are very receptive and friendly. We do not have anything against the American people, nor against any foreigner who comes here. The country is very rich and full of job opportunities. We have democracy and free expression. But like all developing countries, we have violence and other problems related to poverty and corruption, but if you avoid certain places to go, you probably will not have problems. I recommend first, you make a trip here and see the country only to then make a decision. see it by. Divi.

(1) Is getting a job there easy? IT depends on your qualification, where you lives, your age, etc; (2) How long would it take for me to be fluent in portuguese? This depends on your ability to learn idioms, but, I think you can learn to speak portuguese in less than 6 months if you are very interested for it and 1 1/2 to become (really) fluent with no accents; (3) Are they bias towards americans of indian origin? Brazilians has no problem against any ethnicity, because we a multi racial nation formed by immigrants from more than 50 countries including USA; and, (4) How is the culture there? DIverse. I think it's not so different of US culture. At least in the medium sized/big cities. I have a YouTube channel just for helping foreigners to know Brazil, Brazilians and Brazilian culture better. You will find a lot of videos about everything: how people looks like, how people dress in Brazil, ethnic groups, cities, economy, etc. Take a look: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=AllAboutBrazil&view=favorites

Well, if you are able about speak and write in Portuguese it is not so hard get a job here. Brazilian schools of English really want native English teaches. It depends what method you will use to learn Portuguese. Brazilians are Latinos so ... we are sweet, we like kiss and hug. And please if a Brazilian try kiss you should accept. If you don't the person would think you don't like him or her. And it doesn't sound good.
