  • Hi team,
    Does anyone know how, where and when I am able to enroll to do the Caple Level A1or 2 exams? I live in Setubal, so the nearest place will be very helpful as I do not have a car. I hope someone can help. Thank you and kind regards,
    Dorville

    • Olá! “Deve ficar ela por ela”, neste contexto, significa que o custo dos casquilhos e o custo do fio estragado devem ser semelhantes. “Ela por ela”, em geral, significa “aproximadamente igual” ou “comparável”.

  • Hola, amigos,
    You are so great, I love how you keep getting better and better.
    I have one little question on this chapter, isn’t it obrigado when Manuel says thanks?
    Muito obrigado.
    All the best to you.
    Jose
