Answer
Hello Eugene,

Less that one percent of Brazilians can speak English. So, if you want to move there is better you to learn Portuguese soon.

While in Brazil, try to contact some English schools and hair saloons to inquiry for job opportunities. Check the local phone book for phones and addresses.

Have fun on you vacation in Rio.
