How proficient are Brazilian executives ?
Brazilian executives' English proficiency varies, but overall it's not as high as in some other countries. Here's a breakdown:
Limited proficiency: Studies suggest a lower percentage of Brazilian executives speak fluent English compared to the global average. Numbers range from around 8% to 24% fluency depending on the source [report on Brazil's English proficiency].
Uneven distribution: Those who have access to better education, particularly private schools with strong English programs, are more likely to be fluent.
Reasons for lower proficiency:
Education system: The Brazilian education system often doesn't prioritize spoken English fluency.
Limited exposure: Portuguese is the dominant language in Brazil, reducing opportunities for daily English practice.
However, there are positive signs:
Growing awareness: The importance of English in business is increasingly recognized, leading to a rise in English language programs.
Investment in education: The "new middle class" is investing heavily in education, which could improve future generations' English skills.
In conclusion: While fluency may not be the norm for Brazilian executives yet, the situation is evolving. You might encounter executives with a range of English abilities, so it's always best to check communication preferences beforehand.
