“É aquela coisa que faz as flores crescerem, não é?”
Por favor, há pouco me atire agora!!
🙂
Hahaha, é bom ver que continuas a ouvir o podcast, Paul! Espero que esteja tudo bem com as tuas abelhas… já falas com elas em português? 🙂
I never miss an episode, Joel. As abelhas estão muito boas mas querem primavera agora! Até lá, não faz(em) mel! 🙂
I loved this podcast, obrigada. One of my ongoing difficulties is with tenses. I have worked my way through the units but I struggle to retain the verbs. ie I can work through the verb exercises but when it comes down to auditory comprehension and even reading podcasts I lose the tenses. Currently I try to listen and read the podcast totally in PT and to then translate to English and to then compare with your translation. I hope that doing this most days will help me but would it be possible to have some units in specific tenses. e.g we have had a few present tense verbs, could we have past tense, furture tense.
Thanks guys.
It’s on the way, we have a whole pile of new Units of verb tenses in review! 🙂
I would appreciate this too! Muito obrigada.
Great episode, thanks guys. Foi muito engraçado!
Enjoyed I am a big fan of Ronaldo for many years. Saw him play twice in the US. You guys did a good job!!
In the vocabulary section, could you repeat the word,as these are new ones for us.
Obrigada,
Olivia
Question… At around 9:20 Rui says “Queres que eu repita…” I’m trying to figure out the conjugation of “repetir” in this case. Is it because it’s conditional?
Yes, that’s a hard one. It’s the present subjunctive! 🙂
