What kind of accent or special way does someone Portuguese speak English

What kind of accent or special way does someone Portuguese speak English?
I need this ASAP, since I live in Indonesia I don't know what kind of accent they have. I'm writing a play and it will help if someone gave me an example of how they speak or some verbs and adjective they commonly use.

Accents vary from person to person.However they may put the words in the wrong order. Ex. To school I go

no, they do say 'i go to school' because thats the way you say it in portuguese but my friends mom used to say 'she dont...' 'he dont...' yet and still are often confused since they are the same word in portuguese. in, on, and at / by, for, and to are also often confused. good luck ^^

Some portuguese speaking people (especially brazilians) have difficulties to pronounce english words without a vowel at the end. This happens because in latin languages like portuguese, the most part of our words have a vowel at the and. Examples: right (we pronounce righty). Red (redy), black (blacky). I have seen on movies that italians make also the same mistake.
