  • It would be good to click on the vocabulary words and hear them repeated in Portuguese for pronunciation and recognition. Obrigado!

  • Hi! A quick question.
    In this sentence
    “Luís: Eu tenho que ir para a Praça do Comércio, mas não sei bem como.”
    should “tenho que” be “tenho de”? If not, why?
    I really cannot tell from the audio itself.
    Obrigado,
    Paul

    • Olá, Paul. You’re right, Luís says ‘tenho de’, so it should’ve been transcribed as such. Thanks for noticing; we’ll get it fixed.

      Regarding the difference between ‘tenho de’ and ‘tenho que’ (usually, none), you can take a look at this forum post where we talk about it: Ter de vs. ter que

  • Thanks for the reply and the forum link. I will make a bumper sticker for “Portuguese is messed up. Just…” 🙂

  • Is Luís saying “Será que me PODES ajudar, por favor?” instead of “Será que me PODERIA ajudar, por favor?” as written in the transcript?

    • Well spotted! He’s not saying “podes”, but “pode” (as in “você pode”). We’ll update the transcript accordingly. Thanks for catching that 🙂
