  • For once, a lesson that is easy for native speakers of English, but tough for the native speakers of Spanish. We're talking about how to pronounce words with 'b', 'd', and 'g.' Just wait to hear Jose Luis say the word 'abogado'! As to the cultural topic, Valdo and Michelle are trying to get used to adding tax to the price of the items that they buy.

    Dialog

    Portuguese
    Michelle: Preciso comprar algumas coisas lá pra casa. Tudo o que eu comprei na semana passada já acabou.
    Valdo: Você não tem mais nada? Eu não agüento mais toda semana ter que te levar cada vez para um lugar diferente.
    Michelle: Deixa de bobagem e me ajuda antes que minha comida e minha água acabem!
    Valdo: Tudo bem. Eu também preciso comprar umas goiabas e um abacate.
    Todo bien. Yo también necesito comprar unas guayabas y un aguacate.
    Michelle: Nossa, mas essa loja está lotada! Vamos logo pegar uma escova de cabelo pra bebê. Não posso abusar porque eu trouxe o dinheiro contado.
    Valdo: Não abuse mesmo, pois você sabe que aqui os preços não vêm com as taxas embutidas!

    Spanish
    Michelle: Necesito comprar algunas cosas para la casa. Todo lo que compré la semana pasada se acabó.
    Valdo: No tienes nada más? No aguanto más, cada semana tengo que llevarte siempre a un lugar diferente.
    Michelle: Déjate de bobadas y ayúdame antes que la comida y el água se nos acaben.
    Valdo: Todo bien. Yo también necesito comprar unas guayabas y un aguacate.
    Michelle: Ay, esta tienda está llena. Vamos a comprar luego un cepillo para el cabello del bebé. Hay que tener cuidado porque traje solo efectivo.
    Valdo: Con cuidado, pues tú sabes que aquí los precios no traen el impuesto incluído.

    English
    Michelle: I need to buy some things for the house. Everything I bought last week is gone.
    Valdo: You don't have anymore? I can't stand having to take you to different places every week.
    Michelle: Stop being silly and help me before my food and water run out.
    Valdo: That's OK. I also need to buy some guavas and an avacado.
    Michelle: Wow, this store's got everything. Let's go get a brush for the baby. Let's not go overboard because I just brought cash.
    Valdo: Yes, do be careful because you know that here that prices don't include the additional taxes.
