Concerning language problems, no communication problems. Brazilians are very helpful; they love to practice the little English they know. But do not expect everyone to speak English fluently. Use body language! In larger cities, everybody knows someone who speaks a bit of English, at least. In the more remote areas, Portuguese is best. Spanish, with a bit of patience, is often understood.
Hotels usually carry at least one TV-channel is English (CNN).
Just learn the two magic words:
Please Por favor (easy, isn´t it!)
and
Thank you! Obrigado (if you are a man)
Obrigada (if you are a women), it gets you a lot of friendly smiles.
