  • In preparation for tomorrow's $250 Geoguessr tournament, I'm practicing my weakest country. Brazil is huge, you can guess the right region and get 3000 points on the world map. It's time for me to hone my skills and show why Brazil is actually a very fun country map to play. Let me know which country you'd like me to do next.

    I'm brazilian, and it's fun to see you getting this knowledge about Brazil, but I think it's annoying how the game 90% of the time puts you in the middle of a road without nothing around, just trees and soil. Brazil has a lot of huge cities and little villages, a lot of rivers and lakes all over the country, bridges etc, they should put more diverse locations in the game.

      @@davidacosta9158 the game clearly has some algorithmic biases, like Roraima appearing pretty much every round, even though it's a relatively small state area-wise and one of the smallest in population. It'd be more interesting if the algorithm favored urban settlements and more distinctive locations rather than a road in the middle of nowhere.

    the problem with brazilian maps in Geoguessr is that almost every time you get a road in the middle of the country with basically no hint. they seriously need to change this! Brazil is a massive country for sure - one of the biggest in the world - but you don't get this type of place in the US, for example, in the game.....

    I work at the Brazilian national geography Institute, it's quite funny how you guys are able to get many hard things right, and easy things wrong. But something that appears odd to me, is that that it doesn't seems quite random enough, it's like the system (or the person who gave the data), is making hard choices by intent. Like, great part of the places are geographic exceptions on its area, like, you have to know at the "municipal" scale that the exact area there doesn't match the average perception of the area, it doesn't seems that fair with outsiders in comparison of what I've seen on other countries.
    For example, 12:35 is exactly at my city and i would've never guessed if i never had visted that exact place before, is a sparsely populated district that only there such rock formations are visible, and you told that you've seen this geography before at the same place roughly speaking, it sounds hard on intent because the area around the city is huge, and mostly plain (the name campos dos goytacazes means "plains belonging to the waitaka natives"), so why the only coordinates that are showing are those exceptions? Strange...
    But my tips are, if you are alone in a highway, pay attention to the paint on the floor, number of lanes, (to know if it is a small, medium, interstate or national highway), overall maintenance also are a good indicative of its placing (north or south, close to a big center or far away), as told, the soil alone will never get you anywhere. Talking about cities, grid patterns, pavement, overall condition... It never matters, the difference between rich and poor neighborhoods are so huge that in the same city you can get rural "forest type", rural "arid type", "small city vibes" neighborhoods, slums, high end and business districts, what will always help you are weather, public transportation, and other small things that with practice you'll able to get. Well, I hope I could help by a little here, sorry for my bad English, any subsequent doubts just ask me!

    A tip for your pronunciation: when the vowel has an acute accent (á or í), that letter or the syllable it’s in is the strongest, the tonic syllable, so it’s pronounced like Para-NÁ, Piau-Í, Ama-PÁ. And in Bahia, H has no sound, so you just pronounce it like Ba-Í-a.

    Dude, as a Brazilian, I can say that you are very good at this. Our country is very varied and some distant regions can also be similar. I'm from Piauí, and a tip that I give you and I noticed your mistakes, is that even in the northeast region, some areas can be very green, leading to confuse with areas of more forest. The tip I give is the soil, if it seems harder and has green areas, it is usually northeast, if the soil is fluffy, or red, it is more possible to be in the midwest region, and if the soil is sandy with green areas , it is more possible to be from maranhão or northern region.

The other is the color of the soil (Red is in the south plateao region (not litoral) sand colored is litoral, more yellowish is northeast. Dark colored ground is north (but you will get very few pictures there due to a lot of territory there not having been mapped in street view). There are some exceptions but when you have no other clues in a simple road picture it helps a lot.

    I'm so mad at Geoguessr because they always put you in some random location in the middle of nowhere and it gives the wrong impression for foreigners that Brazil is only a rural country with red dirt roads and ugly houses. Brazil is much more than that. I don't know why this happens and they need to fix this ASAP. Please do more Brazilian rounds, nobody seems to care about our country in the geoguessr community.
    There are places in Brazil that looks just like Australia, Switzerland, Italy, Japan, even Maldives, it's so frustrating geoguessr keeps putting those ugly middle of nowhere 500km far from the nearest human locations!

    Unless you end up in a city or in a specific regional bioma (wetland near Paraguay, semi-arid in countryside Northeast) most of Brazil is highland fields and they get very similar. Of course the game isn't likely to put you inside the rainforest because there will be almost no roads. We can only guess in most situations really by paying attention to phone numbers and road signs.

The junction of north of Paraná, southwest of São Paulo and south of Mato Grosso do Sul is known for having this really red soil. In fact, here in Paraná we call people who are born in this region “pé vermelho” or “red footed” because it’s pretty much impossible for you to walk around the region without getting your shoes or feet completely red because of the dirt.

When you se a "ão" the sound is similar to "aum".

    As a Brazilian, I have a tip.
    I know that many times you get roads who are in the middle of nowhere, but I used this a few times and it helped. When playing in a Brazilian map, try to look for signs which contain phone numbers. You can use the areal codes to your advantage. Each state has their specific areal code (eg: São Paulo is 11, Rio De Janeiro is 22/21/24). It will usually be betweeen parenthesis.
    However, note that many states have more than 1 areal code. I know, it's hard to know or remember all of them, but I think that a little research can help.

    Just some tips for Portuguese pronunciation!
    The g makes the sound like in 'genre' before e and i, this is the same as the Portuguese j sound
    nh sounds like the spanish ñ sound (closest I can think of in English would be like the ni in onion)
    r sounds like h at the start of a word
    h isn't pronounced
    t and d are pronounced like English's ch and j respectively before i and e (when e is at the end of a word)
    The ã thing makes a nasalised sound, so like almost as if the syllable ended on an n, but you don't fully pronounce the n, if that makes sense. Same thing happens on words ending in m
    e and o at the end of words sound a bit closer to i and u
    l sounds like w at the end of a word (this happens in some varieties of English too, I can't tell if you do it though)
    A single s is pronounced like z between vowels
    So for example Rio De Janeiro may sound a bit closer to Hiu Ji Zhaneiru, or grande can sound a bit like 'grungy'
    Hope this helps
