| INTRODUCTION |
| Paloma: In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question "Do you have a cell phone?" |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Paloma: In Portuguese this is |
| Felipe: Você tem celular? |
| Paloma: The first word in the question is |
| Felipe: você |
| Paloma: meaning "you" in English. |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) você |
| Paloma: Listen again and repeat. |
| Felipe: você |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: This pattern of first introducing a word at natural speed, providing the translation, breaking it down, and then giving it again at natural speed will be repeated throughout the series. Try to speak aloud as often as possible. The next word in the question is |
| Felipe: tem |
| Paloma: meaning "have." |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) tem |
| Paloma: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: tem |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: Listen to the the first 2 words of the question and repeat. |
| Felipe: você tem |
| {pause} |
| Paloma: And after that |
| Felipe: celular |
| Paloma: meaning "cell phone." |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) celular |
| Paloma: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: celular |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: Listen to the entire question and repeat. |
| Felipe: você tem celular? |
| {pause} |
| Paloma: (You'll hear this common question again and again throughout your studies.) Master the following pattern and responses to the question "Do you have a cell phone?" |
| Felipe: Sim, eu tenho um iPhone. |
| Paloma: "Yes, I have an iPhone." Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase. |
| Felipe: (Slow) Sim, eu tenho um iPhone. |
| {pause} |
| Paloma: Let's break down the "yes" answer from the beginning. The first word... |
| Felipe: sim |
| Paloma: means "yes." |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) sim |
| Paloma: Now repeat |
| Felipe: sim |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: And after that |
| Felipe: eu |
| Paloma: meaning "I." |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) eu |
| A: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: eu |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: And next |
| Felipe: tenho |
| Paloma: meaning "have." |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) tenho |
| Paloma: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: tenho |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: And next |
| Felipe: um |
| Paloma: meaning "an." |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) um |
| Paloma: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: um |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: And next |
| Felipe: iPhone |
| Paloma: meaning "iPhone." |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) iPhone |
| Paloma: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: iPhone |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: Listen to the speaker say, "Yes, I have an iPhone," and then repeat. |
| Felipe: Sim, eu tenho um iPhone. |
| {pause} |
| Paloma: To expand on the pattern, replace iPhone with BlackBerry. |
| Felipe: BlackBerry |
| Paloma: "BlackBerry" |
| Felipe: (slow) BlackBerry (regular) BlackBerry |
| Paloma: Listen to the phrase again, this time with "BlackBerry." |
| Felipe: Sim, eu tenho um BlackBerry. |
| Paloma: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace iPhone. Say "Yes, I have a BlackBerry." |
| {pause} |
| Felipe: Sim, eu tenho um BlackBerry. |
| Paloma: To expand on the pattern, replace BlackBerry with Samsung Galaxy. |
| Felipe: Samsung Galaxy |
| Paloma: "Samsung Galaxy" |
| Felipe: (slow) Samsung Galaxy (regular) Samsung Galaxy |
| Paloma: Listen to the phrase again, this time with "Samsung Galaxy." |
| Felipe: Sim, eu tenho um Samsung Galaxy. |
| Paloma: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace the Portuguese for BlackBerry. Say "Yes, I have a Samsung Galaxy." |
| {pause} |
| Felipe: Sim, eu tenho um Samsung Galaxy. |
| Paloma: To use a different phrase, replace Samsung Galaxy with Nokia Lumia. |
| Felipe: Nokia Lumia |
| Paloma: "Nokia Lumia" |
| Felipe: (slow) Nokia Lumia (regular) Nokia Lumia |
| Paloma: Listen to the phrase again, this time with "Nokia Lumia." |
| Felipe: Sim, eu tenho um Nokia Lumia. |
| Paloma: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace the Portuguese for "Samsung Galaxy." Say "Yes, I have a Nokia Lumia." |
| {pause} |
| Felipe: Sim, eu tenho um Nokia Lumia. |
| Paloma: To say "no", just say... |
| Felipe: Não, eu não tenho celular. |
| Paloma: Which is like saying "No, I don't have a cell phone," in English. Let's hear it slowly. |
| Felipe: (Slowly) Não, eu não tenho celular. |
| Paloma: And one more time at normal speed... |
| Felipe: Não, eu não tenho celular. |
