Speak three languages

I am multilingual, with Portuguese as my first language, fluent in English now, and I speak a little bit of Spanish. I was born and raised in Brazil. I started learning English in 2016 when I moved to America, and recently got a school award for my achievement in speaking English fluently. I learned a little bit of Spanish as well in school; it is similar to my first language (Portuguese), which is why I can understand it. My language skills allow me to communicate effectively across diverse cultures and adapt easily to different environments.
