Brazilians usually don't speak spanish... We try, as the language, somehow is similar to portuguese.
To tell you the truth, don't knowing how to properly speak spanish bothers me a lot ! I hate using portuguese words while trying to talk in spanish. I feel like a fool

Yeap, I'm brazilian. No, I don't work for COPA... But I do know a few guys who are working there and they, at least until going to Panama, didn't know how to REALLY speak spanish.
