As a Brazilian I ever felt unconfortable with the english speakers who strong believed that everyone must know english wherever they visit. Most of them are sure that speaking english is almost an obligation to every civilized citizen :-) But now I think the same happens with us, living in a so large country, where portuguese can be understood from Oiapoque to Chuí, we got lazy and used to speak only one language. Some Brazilians even think that do not need to learn spanish, the language all the rest of the continent talks. Thanks, good luck and happy new year again!
