Bem-vindo de novo, pessoal! Today we have our first song of the season, "Sei Lá, A Vida Tem Sempre Razão" by Tom Jobim. We go over the comprehension of this 2-verse song, dissect some grammatical concepts of existence, omission, and idiomatic expression, and practice our pronunciation of some of the staple sounds in Portuguese. This song is a classic, I'm sure you'll love it and even more so after knowing what goes into its language.
