No que país mora o João Castelão? Vou viver lá e voto por ele! Com certeza! Muito engraçado.
Olá 🙋♀️
Ótimo! 🙂
I just wanted to say thank you to Rui for such an excellent presentation – you really get into character and that makes it really interesting for us students. The effort you have put into creating this course is enormous and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate it! Muito obrigado a todos!
A“ as deputados são eleitos a cada 4 anos” can you omit the a and just say. … eleitos cada 4 anos?
Olá 🙂 In European Portuguese, it is not idiomatic to omit the “a”. We should say “a cada…”.
Hi
Excellent subject.
Two comments:
Would it be possible to get someone other than Rui do the voiceover, so we could get used to other voices and accents? Most of the Portuguese politicians I have heard don’t speak as clearly as Rui🙂.
Would it be possible to automate all the quiz answers so that they could be “played”, as is the case in all the lessons? I would find that feature useful.
Thank you for your comments! We do have different voices throughout our content, with varying accents and speech styles 🙂 Regarding the quiz answers, it’s true that they don’t currently benefit from the same configuration that the exercise units have. This is something we can assess as a future feature – thanks for the suggestion. Meanwhile, a workaround to that is to click on the translation icon on each answer and listen to the respective audio recording on the translator tab.
