Lovely ! We have all heard real reporters come out with ridiculous statements in tragic circumstances, a little gem this one, pity you don’t do short films………….yet.
Pat
This one would be great as a video… It would have to be animated because I don’t think we have the budget for dropping a tree on a van or setting a house on fire!
Pp will have to subsidise my phone bill unless it’s offline! Great shorty oscar-worthy stuff
A nice shortie with some humor and very useful expressions. Thank you.
All shorties are good way to get used to day to day conversation.
Maybe you could do some for more advance learners which would be exactly like how locals speak in Alentejo for instance… Again on day to day conversations, like in a cafe or stopping on a road to chat with a local…
Another good one.
Help at O0 30 we hear nao pá…..no man. Should this appear in the expressions with an explanation. .
Added 🙂
If ever you decide to publish your top ten in let’s say ‘Aulas humorísticas de português’ this one should definitely be part of it!
Thank you! I agree, this is one of my favourites. The author, Mário, nailed it with this one and the voices of Eliana and Rui really brought it to life! 🙂
Veramente excelente e muito realista… Diverti-me muito. Muito obrigada.
Senhor João Cuidado……
A good one, liked the humor ! Although journalist did speak very quickly
Haha! This is so true, this “how do you feel about” question. Bravo!
Really liked this story – lots of good vocab and very funny (while also realistic) thanks !
dramatic masterclass by Rui playing o senhor João Cuidado.bravo!
