I wish I had known...
1) Portuguese language 2) that Brazil and Sao Paulo (or the part of the city you`ll stay in - Bela Vista, Jardim Paulisa cause both are close to FGV) are not dangerous. I was really afraid of going there due to violence level but nothing really bad happened to me and the majority of echange students. Of course you have to be careful but it wasn`t so bad as I expected.
In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
