| Let's practice. |
| Imagine you're Karen Lee and you receive a popular Brazilian candy from your Portuguese language teacher. |
| Say, "Thank you very much." |
| Ready? |
| Muito obrigada. |
| De nada. |
| Listen again and repeat. |
| Muito obrigada. |
| Muito obrigada. |
| Let's try another. |
| Imagine you're Mark Lee and a passenger bumps into you. |
| Respond by saying, "No, it's alright." |
| Ready? |
| Desculpa. |
| Não, tudo bem. |
| Listen again and repeat. |
| Não, tudo bem. |
| Não, tudo bem. |
| Let's try one more. |
| Imagine you're Mark Lee and you see a man drop his wallet. |
| Get his attention. |
| Ready? |
| Com licença. |
| Sim? |
| Listen again and repeat. |
| Com licença. |
| Com licença. |
| In your language journey, you will come across licença, "excuse me," a shortened version of Com licença. |
| Licença is informal, but it's commonly used as a way to excuse oneself when in a hurry, such as on public transportation or in a crowded place when someone is trying to pass through or to make way. |
| Licença. |
| This is the end of this lesson. |

| When you're ready, take your assessment. |
| You can take it again and again, so try anytime you like. |
| Our teachers will assess it, and give you your results. |
