  • Love, love, love these Shorties! Just an idea… It would be great to have the recording for both the vocabulary at the end and the expressions. Yes, I can go back to the story, but if I really want to learn them separately, in a row at the end, it would be terrific to have the “Listen” button right there to click. Obrigada.

    • Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying these. 🙂 We are working on some changes that will let us add audio to the vocab and expressions, so keep an eye out for this in the future!

  • Is there difference between “: .. Não vejo o Ricardo há muito tempo.até muito tempo” and “Não vejo o Ricardo até muito tempo.” ?

    • Olá, Tom! You should only say “Não vejo o Ricardo há muito tempo”. “Não vejo o Ricardo até muito tempo” is not grammatically correct. “Até” means “until” (among other things), which doesn’t fit here.

  • In the sentence of Luísa ” nós também nos divertimos muito contigo”, is “nos” here reflexive pronoun? Is “também” a coordinating conjunction?
    In the lesson on Reflexive pronoun, we put it before the verbs if it is subordinating conjunctionS, so I do not understand why we put “nos” before the verb “divertimos” here.

    • “Nos” is a reflexive pronoun, placed proclitically here due to the attraction of the word “também”. “Também” is not a conjunction here, but an adverb 🙂
