This five-part series will help you ease your way into Portuguese.

POST CONVERSATION BANTER
Braden: So poor Marcos walked away with nothing…but Lúcia walked away with a brand new CD! How much did she pay for it?
Thássia: Um...one hundred dollars!
Braden: Hmm, sounds like a lot for a CD. It must have been a pretty nice one! Or maybe she just reeeally wanted it.
Thássia: Yeah, she sounded really excited! She said "Ganhei!" which means, "I win!"
Braden: Okay, so they were shouting out a lot of big numbers in this conversation.
Thássia: We should look at each of the base numbers, like twenty, thirty, forty.
Braden: Then, let's take a closer look at how to put them together.
Thássia: Good idea!

VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE
Braden: Let's have a closer look at the usuage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson.
Thássia: The first word/phrase we’ll look at is....
Braden: So, here is what we want you to do. Just like in the last lesson, Thássia will say each number starting from twenty and we want you to repeat what she said.
Thássia: Ready? "Vinte." (Pause) "Twenty."
Braden: Now let's look at combining these numbers. Where should we start?
Thássia: Um, "trinta e nove." ("thirty-nine.")
Braden: Sure! All numbers over twenty are formed by inserting the Portuguese word for "and."
Thássia: "E"
Braden: Between two numbers. Can you hear it?
Thássia: "Trinta-e-nove."
Braden: And one time fast.
Thássia: "Trinta e nove."
Braden: You just insert "e" between the first and second numbers.
Thássia: That's it.
Braden: So, this time we are going to bring it all together. I'm going to say a number in English, Thássia will say it in Portuguese and then we want you to say it out loud. Ready? "Thirty-three."
Thássia: "Trinta e trez."
(Pause)
Braden: "fifty-five."
Thássia: "Cinquenta e cinco."
(Pause)
Braden: "ninety-nine."
Thássia: "Noventa e nove."
(Pause)
Braden: "seventy-seven."
Thássia: "Setenta e sete."
(Pause)
Braden: "sixty-six."
Thássia: "Sessenta e seis."
(Pause)
Braden: "forty-four."
Thássia: "Quarenta e quarto."
(Pause)
Braden: "eighty-eight."
Thássia: "Oitenta e oito."
(Pause)
Braden: "twenty-two."
--: "Vinte e dois or vinte e duas."
(Pause)
Braden: How was that?

Lesson focus

Braden: Remember that rule of inserting "e" between two numbers to form numbers over twenty?
Thássia: Yes.
Braden: Well, it actually starts at sixteen.
Thássia: Yes, I know.
Braden: You know? How did you know?
Thássia: Because I read the lesson.
Braden: Ha ha. Well, that's cheating. Anyway, the reason we didn't talk about this before is because we thought it was just a bit too much for one lesson.
Thássia: Yes. How about we review numbers one through ten? I'll say them slowly and Braden can give the English?
Braden: Sounds good.

Braden: Okay, so that last one, "dez." That's what we use to make sixteen through nineteen.
Thássia: Right. Let's go through those right now so we can hear how they work. I'll say the Portuguese then pause for you to repeat, and then Braden will say the English. Ready?
Braden: Awesome. Did you hear the breakdown of sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen? See how they follow the pattern too?
Thássia: That's right. "Dezesseis" is actually "Dez e seis" all crunched together.
Braden: The exception is "dezoito." It just has "dez" and then "oito." There's no "e."
Thássia: Right. It would sounds very strange to say "dez-e-oito."
Braden: Yes it does. Well, there you have it! Again, keep practicing these numbers, and you'll get really good at them!
Thássia: Practice makes perfect.
Ed: That's true. Cliché, but true. I suggest actually trying to do simple math, like addition and subtraction, to learn the numbers.
Thássia: Math?
Braden: Yes, math. To learn vocabulary properly you have to make the words mean something to yourself. Just repeating them over and over takes a lot of time and doesn’t really help you learn any faster. If you can make the numbers mean something to you, then you can learn them faster and remember them better.
Thássia: Wow. Never thought about it that way. You know, that concludes this Basic Boot Camp series.
Braden: Yes it does. We hope you enjoyed our second installment on numbers and the entire Basic Boot Camp series!

Outro

Braden: That just about does it for today.
Braden: Thanks for listening!
Thássia: Até mais!
