Portuguese and Spanish are not equal. They are not equal but they are very similar. People in Brazil understand Spanish a little.

The history books says that Brazil was discovered in 1500. It was discovered by Pedro Alvarez Cabral. Cabral was from Portugal. Apparently, Brazil was discovered by accident. Some people disagree.

Before Cabral there were people living here. They had a different type of life. They did not wear clothes. They hunted for food. They had their faces painted. They lived in tribes. It all changed after the arrival of the Portuguese people. Later, more and more people came too. People from all over the world. That's why Brazil is a big mixture of many different cultures.
