Comments
I liked the dialogue about the server and customer ordering food in Portuguese.
In the first two lines “tarde” is pronounced in two different ways. Is this a reflection of regional accents (which is which)? Is there any significance implied by the pronounciation?
Olá! I don’t perceive a difference in pronunciation or accent. The first speaker voices the word until the end, which makes it sound more articulated, while the second speaker voices the first syllable, but then lets the voice drop to a whisper for the last (unstressed) syllable – this is very natural for us when we’re speaking fast or with no focus on sharp articulation. The same happens when they each pronounce the word ‘grande’, for example.
Obrigada pelo repeat button!!

When Lucas is ordering why does he say Queria? Wouldn’t it be Quero?
“Queria” is the imperfect tense of “querer” and is often used to make a polite request, similar to saying “I would like” in English. So, when Lucas says “Queria,” he is being polite, as it’s a common way to order in Portuguese! 🙂
