Today, while walking on a street, I found a young foreigner staring at a map.

Can I help you?" Foreigner "O quê?

Não estou entendendo.

(I'm not sure what he said, but I guess he said like this.)" M "Well, um...

Do you speak English" F "English?

A little, I speak." M "Do you have any trouble?

You look you've lost." F "Yes, I go...

English... say..." M "Okay, well... yes, can you write it down in your language?

Maybe I can imagine what it means. Ah... Write.

Just write it down.

(a gesture of writing)" He wrote down "prefeitura (I'm sorry if its spelling is not right.)" Of course, I didn't understand.

M "Let me see...

How do you pronounce this word?" F "Prefeitura.

Pre-fei-tu-ra." M "Prefeitura?

Hmm... can you describe what this is?" F "Ah...

Many people, paper, work for city and the people..." M "...Aha! Now I got it!!

You want to go to the city hall, right?

The city hall is around here!" F "Yes!!

Thank you!" M "My pleasure.

Go down this street, and..." To be frank, his English was not necessarily good, but I was happy to find that even if we knew few words, we could understand through helping each other.
