Preeminent English-for-Brazilians blog Tecla SAP gets a facelift, new address, and continues to grow

Ulisses W. Carvalho has been publishing this fantastic resource for some time now, which is evident from his readership, which hovers around the 30,000 mark! The focus is on easy-to-digest tips (dicas), translations of Brazilian colloquialisms (expressões idiomáticas), short quizzes, exercises, and more.

Tecla SAP got a big lift from Ulisses’ appearance on the Jo Soares show, which is the equivalent of The Tonight Show in Brazil. To be fair, it’s probably better to compare it to the Johnny Carson-era of The Tonight Show, as Jo is well-loved and a cultural icon. Here’s the video of Ulisses’ appearance: Video on YouTube

The new Tecla SAP (http://www.teclasap.com.br/blog/) is a testament to the collaborative nature of the English-for-Brazilians blogosphere; we note happily that the folks from English Experts pitched in in the migration and redesign of the massive blog. Check it out!!

Check out Google.com.br if you haven’t already.

Using localized Google, you are able to search sites and documents in other languages, such as Portuguese. It has happened to me that my Brazilian friends have found things faster than I while searching concurrent with my queries, and the reason is that sometimes I forget to localize to Brazil when searching for information in Portuguese.

Whether you are looking for information about books, movies, language, news or anything else, if the end result is either in Portuguese or originating in Brazil, chances are you will find it faster with Google.com.br.
