  • We've made a switch. Welcome back to all who have previously listened to Tá Falado. Up to this point, we've always done pronunciation lessons. Today we introduce something new, our first grammar lesson! From here on out we'll look at some of those items that make Spanish speakers shake their heads and say, 'I thought Portuguese and Spanish were more similar than this.' In lesson one, Orlando, Valdo, Michelle, and Jose Luís talk us through the verb 'to like.' We, in fact, hope that you like the lesson too. Culturally, Valdo and Michelle confess that they have never understood why North Americans like to sit on the grass.

    Dialog

    Portuguese
    Michelle: Valdo, olhe pro gramado. Veja como os universitários americanos gostam de livros, de música ...
    Valdo: E você gosta de sentar na grama como eles para estudar?
    Michelle: Não, não estou acostumada. Mas os alunos aqui nos Estados Unidos adoram.
    Valdo: Pois é, não gosto disso não. É um pouco desconfortável e tem muita formiga.
    Michelle: Eh, eu também não gosto de formiga não. Onde você prefere estudar?
    Valdo: Eu gosto muito de estudar no conforto da minha casa ou na biblioteca.

    Spanish
    Michelle: Valdo, mira la grama. Ve como a los universitarios americanos les gustan os libros, y la música ...
    Valdo: Te gusta sentarte en el césped como ellos para estudiar?
    Michelle: No, no estoy acostumbrada. Pero a los alumnos de aquí de los Estados Unidos les encanta.
    Valdo: Pues, a mí no me gusta. Es un poco incómodo y hay muchas hormigas.
    Michelle: De acuerdo. Tampoco me gustan las hormigas. ¿Dónde prefieres estudiar?
    Valdo: Me gusta mucho estudiar en la comodidad de mi casa o en la biblioteca.

    English
    Michelle: Valdo, look at the lawn. You see how American university students like music, book ...
    Valdo: Do you like to sit on the lawn to study like they do?
    Michelle: No, I'm not used to it. But the students here in the United State love it.
    Valdo: Yeah, I don't like it either. It is kind of uncomfortable and there are a lot of ants.
    Michelle: Yeah, I don't like ants either. Where do you like to study?
    Valdo: I really like to study in the comfort of my home or in the library.
