OK well to improve your language skills I suggest getting a penpal www.interpals.net just look for people who speak Portuguese in Brazil only.
What city(ies) are you going to?
Depending on the city you may have to prepare yourself for certain safety precautions you will need to take, that being said outside of the cities with over 30 per 100k homicides the violence factor is overblown.
honestly money wise you only need about $1000 for a month and about $1500-2000 for two
a couple weeks before going use tinder plus to match some locals

Supposing that you are an English-speaking dude, I think in 2 years you can complete A2 level. It is not enough to establish an elaborate conversation, but you can survive.

why do you want to go there, i heard it can be pretty messy specially for europeans, people is always late, same as public transport and other typical stereotypes for south american countries. Go to /int/ for not practical advice and memes about it.

It's not that bad, the brazilians just have a self-hating culture so they get on the internet and shit all over it.
It's the same as the liberals in the US that think that the US is the worst place in the world, responsible for all of its evils, and Europe is a utopia.

This thread is relevant to my interests.
I was thinking of going to Brazil next summer through a company called Connection Rio. It's pretty much a BJJ hostel where you live and train with other Jiu Jitsu guys every day.
Does anyone have experience with anything like this? It sounds fucking amazing
