I can't go to Brazil. But every time that I have the opportunity of saying something in Portuguese, with someone from Brazil or Portugal. I take advantage of this opportunity, and I have to say something because this is special for me. Like I said, every time that I have the opportunity to speak Portuguese. I do it!
