Cultural Insight
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Ana: In Brazil, we sometimes shorten words when we’re talking. For example, it’s very common to hear brigado instead of obrigado. Remember that "thank you" in Portuguese has both masculine and feminine forms – obrigado and obrigada.
