## Saint John's Brazilian connections

Saint John has a documented trade connection to Brazil: the [Port of Saint John is twinned with the Port of Santos in São Paulo](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/saint-john-seeks-more-trade-with-latin-america-and-brazil-1.1414089), and the port has actively marketed container routes between the two countries, including a [2019 business development visit to the Intermodal South America conference in São Paulo](https://fr.sjport.com/nouvelles-accueil/port-saint-john-business-development-team-to-market-in-brazil-next-week-r2299). There is also a linguistic bridge: in Brazilian Portuguese the city's name becomes *São João* - the same saint honoured in the [festa junina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festa_Junina), an annual Brazilian June celebration introduced by the Portuguese during the colonial period. For learners, these connections make natural conversation material: port and shipping vocabulary, festival food and music terms, and the Portuguese form of the city's name all fit into Brazilian Portuguese lessons, giving the language a local angle in a city far from the equator.
