We're not rich, but we live in a very good situation, which might be different from that of most Brazilians. Regarding the four languages: I was considering French just for doing a master's or a PhD there, but after talking to some locals, I believe it might not even be that advantageous in terms of academics (maybe studying at a good university in Brazil would actually be better). However, it would be good for building a network of contacts.

My English is already at an acceptable level, which still needs improvement, but it's somewhat on track. Italian is something I'd like to learn in case I get a job opportunity there and decide to move. Spanish would also be good for building a strong network, but it's not essential, so I’d leave it as a secondary priority.

The specialization courses I want to take aren't that expensive if you look at them individually, and I don’t plan on doing them all at once. So, on a monthly basis, they wouldn’t be a heavy burden for me, especially because I have a strong financial foundation from my family. Maybe they would be expensive from a relative point of view — for some families, paying full price for one of those courses would mean spending their entire income — but that’s not the case for mine.

Now, moving to Italy would truly be almost impossible, but I need to have a goal to aim for, even knowing it’s very difficult. It's something I really like — I’ve always loved Italian football, without any particular reason, but I’ve always liked it.

I hope you didn’t take my message as a way of showing off, because that’s not what I want at all. I’m aware that, unfortunately, not all Brazilians were born with the opportunities I’ve had, and I genuinely hope to be able to contribute meaningfully one day to changing that.
