Examples I can think of include greeting someone at the reception desk, the clerk when entering a store, or another person when entering an elevator (of any level). I understand that in Brazil, there is more consciousness of class level than in the U.S. (customer, clerk, client, janitor, manager, etc.). You would probably not start by say "Oi cara". Do you just say "Boa tarde" or similar? Do you ask how they are doing? Is there any common rules about which person speaks first? These are some of the difficult things that are hard to learn as an outsider, and no one wants to be considered rude! Thank you.

Examples I can think of include greeting someone at the reception desk, the clerk when entering a store, or another person when entering an elevator (of any level). I understand that in Brazil, there is more consciousness of class level than in the U.S. (customer, clerk, client, janitor, manager, etc.). You would probably not start by say "Oi cara". Do you just say "Boa tarde" or similar? Do you ask how they are doing? Is there any common rules about which person speaks first? These are some of the difficult things that are hard to learn as an outsider, and no one wants to be considered rude! Thank you.

We do need the written materials to learn better. At least the vocabulary. If i don't know how the word spells, i can never remember it. i am a free-trial subscriber. is the PDF download available to me? We do need the written materials to learn better.
