I don't know? The laws are always changing! You can try contacting them on their online contact form at https://www3.flhsmv.gov/DDL/CQS/

As you don't have a Brazilian driver's license, you can't get an IDP, which is the easiest way to validate your license in the US. Most likely your best option would be to get a state permit and license once you meet the residency requirements. You'll probably have to take driving classes and complete some hours with a licensed driver, so your host parents (or other licensed US drivers) will have to be willing to help you out. You'll have to decide if the extra expense & bother is worth it.
