| INTRODUCTION |
| Thássia: Bom dia! |
| Braden: Braden here! This is Absolute Beginner Season 1, Lesson 15 - Getting Fresh in Brazil. |
| Thássia: And I am Thássia. Braden, what are we learning in this lesson? |
| Braden: In this lesson, we'll focus on the words "aquele," "aqueles," "aquela," and "aquelas." |
| Thássia: The conversation is between Rita and Laura as they leave the restaurant. The speakers are friends; therefore, they will be speaking informally. |
| Braden : Let's listen to the conversation. |

| Braden: (Pointing) There, where those people are. |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Braden: Brazilian food is amazing and in my experience, most cooks typically spend one to three hours on each meal every day. Does that sound about right to you? |
| Thássia: Yes. Most meals in Brazil have rice and beans with vegetables and meat side dishes. Those take a long time to cook when it's all fresh. |
| Braden: And most foods in Brazil are fresh. I've also noticed that in Brazil when you're at a restaurant, it's usually better to ask for juice than just for water. |
| Thássia: Why would you ask for water? |
| Braden: Exactly! Where I'm from, juice is very expensive and fresh juice even more so. So I never ask for juice at a restaurant, but Brazil is tropical so juice is almost always fresh. |
| Thássia: And besides that, you'll have to pay for the water. |
| Braden: Right. And where I'm from, the water is free. Let's take a look at the vocabulary for this lesson. |

| KEY VOCABULARY AND PHRASES |
| Braden: Thassia, what vocabulary word are we going to look at in this lesson? |
| Thassia: This lesson we're going to learn the verb "pegar." |
| Braden: In the dialogue, Rita said. |
| Thassia: "Eu preciso pegar um ônibus," which means. |
| Braden: "I need to catch a bus." The Portuguese verb "pegar" means "to get," "to catch," or "to grab" depending on the context. |
| Thássia: "Pegar" is a very versatile word and has many comparable uses for English speakers. |
| Braden: Such as? "Catch a bus." |
| Thassia: Which in Portuguese is "Pegar um ônibus." |
| Braden: Or "Catch a cold." |
| Thassia: Which is "Pegar gripe." |
| Braden: Or when someone throws something to you, they'll say "Catch!" |
| Thassia: Or in Portuguese, "Pega!" |
| Braden: You can also use it like "grab the bag." |
| Thassia: Which is "pegar a bolsa." |
| Braden: Or "get that book," which is "Pega esse livro." Let's take a look at the grammar point. |
Lesson focus |
| Braden: The focus of this lesson is the words "aquele," "aqueles," "aquela," and "aquelas." |
| Thássia: In the dialogue, we heard the phrase "Aquele almoço foi muito gostoso," which means "That lunch was very tasty." |
| Braden: "Aquele" and "aqueles" are paired words just like "this," "these," "that," and "those," which we covered in previous lessons. |
| Thássia: "Aquele" and "aqueles" are unique though because English has no equivalent. |
| Braden: One good way to understand them though is this - if "este" is "here" and "esse" is "there," then "aquele" is "oooveeerrr theeere," further away. |
| Thássia: "Aquele" and "aqueles" are used when you are talking about something that is "far away, out of reach, and probably out of sight." |
| Braden: When compared to the "aqui," "alí," and "lá" continuum, the words "aquele" and "aqueles" fit in with "lá." |
| Thássia: Just like in the previous lesson on "este" and "esse," there are feminine forms for "aquele" and "aqueles." |
| Braden: As always, "aquele" and "aqueles" are masculine and are used with masculine nouns. "Aquela" and "aquelas" are feminine and used with feminine nouns. |
| Thássia: Some examples are "aquele mar," which means, "that sea over there," and "aqueles países," which means "those countries over there." |
| Braden: And on the feminine side, "aquela pedra" means "that rock over there." |
| Thássia: And "aquelas montanhas" means "those mountains over there." |
| Braden: That just about does it for this lesson. Don't forget that you can leave us a comment on this lesson. |
