My purpose is not only to ask her to speak about the Carioca food, slang, places to visit, Carnaval time... but also to give you the opportunity of listening to her accent, which is considered by all of us Brazilians the most pleasant accent found in Brazil. It is also interesting to listen to it, attentively, to enable you to know when you are talking or overhearing a Carioca speaking to somebody. I hope you enjoy it and let me know on my Instagram if you have had the chance of visiting Rio de Janeiro. If you haven`t, I strongly recommend visiting it.
