Elementary 25: Have You Quit Smoking?


Listen Later

João has been trying to quit smoking. He’s not quite there yet, but looks like he is still motivated to kick the habit. Good thing for João. And good thing for us too, because we learn to talk about it in Portuguese.

Dialogue

A: Ô João, então você já largou do cigarro?
B: Ainda não, que bom saber que você nunca entrou nessa.
A: Quer dizer que ainda está tentando?
B: Tentando, falhando, mas não desisto não, eu vou conseguir.
A: Eu admiro o esforço, viu? Deve ser muito difícil mesmo.
B: Ah, se você soubesse..., é terrível, mas eu vou conseguir.


A: Hey João, so have you already quit smoking?
B: Not yet, it’s a good thing you never got into that.
A: So that means that you are still trying?
B: Trying, failing, but I’m not giving up, I’m going to win out.
A: I admire your effort, you know? It must really be very difficult.
B: Ah, if you knew.., it is terrible, but I’m going to beat it.
