Negro is not a bad word in English, Joel. But n***** is!
Lovely to hear you two have converstional Portuguese!
I’m looking forward to Practice Portuguese lessons; obrigada!

I’m sure Clara’s speaking English at the end “Da Dad Dad Dada Dad Dad”…..

Lovely podcast, thank you. Could I vote for having more Portuguese from the beginning, please?
Best wishes,
