What is your current cost of living in AU? I was pleasantly surprised at the cost of living in Sao Paulo after hearing about how expensive it was. As an example, you're not going to live high on the hog as an English teacher, but you can certainly make a living there teaching English. Perhaps a better question might be to ask yourself what you want to do with the language skill you acquire in Medellin or Sampa, because Spanish is a lot more transferable than Portuguese. If you want to bang latinas or have an international business, Spanish gives you the language skills to do that in almost any Latin American country but Brazil.
I am just learning languages for fun, if I work I probably wouldn't really want to teach english I would really like to continue working in my field (Information technology).
If I am not working in Sao Paulo I will not want to spend more than $2k a month, just trying to work out if this is doable while studying portuguese and living alone at the same time.
