Cultural Tip
In Brazilian Portuguese ‘direto’ is commonly used as an adverb meaning ‘right away’ or ‘directly’. In more formal writing you might prefer ‘diretamente’. Also, the construction ‘de onde’ is the natural way to say ‘from where’; dropping the preposition (e.g., ‘...problemas direto onde estão’) sounds ungrammatical to native speakers.
