  • É com muito prazer que li e ouvi este shorty que foi realizado com tanto orgulho e amor, e isso com razão: que rica história e longa tradição!
    No Alentejo vi troncos de oliveiras que até depois de um incêndio conseguiram rebentar. São heróis na paisagem de Portugal.
    Shorty, longy? O que significa 8 minutos perante a idade de 2800 anos da oliveira mais velha? É um shorty com certeza!
    Obrigado pela aula interessante.
    Abraço.

    P.S. Este texto lembrou-me o episódio ‘A Rota da Cortiça’. São temas interessantes.

  • Hi. Enjoyed the ‘Longy’ but I think you need to make your questions more difficult at this level, in particular. Or rather give a range of answers which each sound probable. For example, surely everybody knows that olive trees can be very ancient and that olive oil has been produced for centuries? I have often thought that even if I understood less than half of the dialogue I could get most of the answers correct by using my common sense.
    Hope this comment is helpful – it is intended to be constructive!

    • Thanks for the constructive feedback! Understood. We’ll try to work on making the questions more difficult at this level.

  • Excelente vídeo muito interessante. Ouvi-lo foi…uma verdadeira delícia 😉 Muito obrigada.

  • Whilst the answers may be relatively simple I believe that they are apt in being concentrated on a number of key points from an article written in a typically literary Portuguese style.
    So I am ok with it.
