  • O clipe mostra bem a diferença entre “ser” e “estar com frases como, “sou dedicado,” “sou pontual” versus “estou surpreendido.”
    Vocés são tão espertos!

  • I really like these quizzes because they offer a real challenge – it’s nice to see how much you can infer even if you don’t understand everything. I would say for this one though, there was a lot of vocab in the transcript that I couldn’t find in the vocabulary section (‘combinado’ for example) which is a shame because it’s very useful.

    Also, something that would be really useful would be to see english translations for the questions and answers after you’ve answered them – helps with vocab and whether you interpreted the question right.

    Obrigado!

    • I just added “combinado” to the expressions list. Thank you for the feedback! We are considering adding English translations for the questions and answers, so I’ll add your vote to the list. 🙂

  • Great dialogue, thank you. It’s SO useful being able to change the speed. Slowing it down is a life saver and makes it much more manageable, rather than overwhelming for a beginner.
    I would like to add that the quiz questions are an excellent extension, particularly as there is no English translation, so it makes me really study each question and figure it out for myself. This is learning!

  • I enjoy the quiz, im trying not to understand every word, but to understand the idea what is happening, to get the jist.

  • Quando o Miguel diz, “Eu posso te dar descontos ou umas coisas extra!,” porque não é, “Eu posso dar-te descontos…”?

    • Olá, Jay. A transcrição deveria ter “posso-te dar” (com hífen) – já foi corrigida 🙂 Tanto “posso-te dar” como “posso dar-te” são aceitáveis. Quando um verbo no infinitivo é acompanhado de um verbo auxiliar, é comum os pronomes clíticos, como “-te”, associarem-se tanto a um verbo como a outro. “Posso te dar” (sem hífen) também é aceitável, mas no português do Brasil.
