[QUOTE="Sifaka, post: 3161894, member: 8516"] As others have mentioned, she goes to school in TN, but is from Brasil. If memory serves, she's a Mineira, from the state of Minas Gerais. [ATTACH]43415[/ATTACH] "A mineira Kamilla Soares Cardoso Silva, de Montes Claros, está chamando a atenção nos EUA. Com apenas 17 anos e 2 metros de altura, a pivô brasileira atualmente estuda e joga pela Hamilton Heights Christian Academy, uma High School na cidade de Chattanooga, no estado do Tenneesse. A jovem foi considerada umas das três melhores jogadoras dos EUA nessa temporada em sua categoria, segundo a ESPN." When she arrived in the U.S. in 2016, she apparently couldn't understand a word of English. "Kamilla desembarcou nos EUA em agosto de 2016. Ela lembra que o começo foi difícil, pois não sabia falar inglês. “No começo foi muito difícil pelo fato de todo mundo falar inglês e eu não entender nada do que estavam falando, mas depois eu comecei a aprender a língua aos poucos até que me adaptei. A minha maior dificuldade era realmente a comunicação com as pessoas." [I]Kamilla arrived in the U.S. in August of 2016. She remembers a difficult beginning, as she couldn't speak English. 'At first it was very difficult because everyone spoke English and I didn't understand a word, but later I began to learn it...and I adapted. My biggest problem was realy communicating with people.'" There is a good story here: [URL='http://www.cbb.com.br/noticias/2018/05/mineira-de-montes-claros-kamilla-soares-se-destaca-no-basquete-dos-eua']Mineira de Montes Claros, Kamilla Soares se destaca no basquete dos EUA[/URL] It's in PT BR (Brazilian Portuguese), but google translate shouldn't mangle too much of it. A fun aside--the article describes her as a leading "pivô". In Brasil, that's basquete, or basketball, jargon for post. A formal dictionary translation follow:[/I] [SIZE=6][B]pivô[/B][/SIZE] [piˈvo] masculine noun 1. (technical) pivot 2. (figurative) central figure, [B][U]prime mover[/U][/B] [/QUOTE]
