English

English is everywhere in Brazil. It's as common here as French is in English Canada. In fact, Brazilians treat English the same way that North Americans treat French. They use it when they want to make something sound fancy or expensive. However, depending on the translation, you find some pretty interesting (and funny) brand and store names. Take this bottle of dog shampoo for example. Would you be tempted to pay $10 for a bottle of "Smelly Dog" shampoo? The store clerk told us that it's the best dog shampoo on the market for getting rid of fleas. We couldn't stop laughing...
