So pleased with these new shorties. Great for times when there’s just not enough time to go through the very lengthy dialogues. A chance to make progress briefly and effectively, and to listen to the spoken language with rapidly acquired understanding. Thank you!
I love these segments because they enhance listening and comprehension skills…the quiz at the end is a great idea! I find in my formal language classes the professors test for this so these exercises are excellent practice.
In question 5 of the quiz: “Qual a grande vantagem financeira do turismo rural? ”
Shoudn’t it be: “Qual é a grande vantagem financeira do turismo rural?” ?
For questions with the interrogative pronoun “Qual” or “Quais”, it is acceptable to omit the verb ser, so either way would be fine 🙂
I will try to remember that. Thank you Joseph 🙂
