Cultural Tip
In Brazil, "pra" is common in everyday speech, especially among friends or in informal work environments. In formal writing or when speaking to someone you don't know well, replace "pra" with "para" ("Como faço para acompanhar as confirmações?"). Also, be aware that "acompanhar" can imply both "to follow" and "to keep up with" depending on context.
