| INTRODUCTION |
| Paloma: In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question "What time is it?" |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Paloma: In Portuguese this is |
| Felipe: Que horas são? |
| Paloma: The first word in the question is |
| Felipe: que |
| Paloma: meaning "what" in English. |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) que |
| Paloma: Listen again and repeat. |
| Felipe: que |
| {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: horas |
| Paloma: meaning "hours." |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) horas |
| Paloma: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: horas |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: And after that |
| Felipe: são |
| Paloma: meaning "are" |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) são |
| Paloma: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: são |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: Listen to the entire question and repeat. |
| Felipe: que horas são? |
| {pause} |
| Paloma: (You'll hear this common question again and again throughout your studies.) Master the following pattern and responses to the question "What time is it?" |
| Felipe: São onze horas. |
| Paloma: "It's 11 o'clock." Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase. |
| Felipe: (Slow) São onze horas. |
| {pause} |
| Paloma: Let's break it down from the beginning. The first word... |
| Felipe: são |
| Paloma: means "are." |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) são |
| Paloma: Now repeat |
| Felipe: são |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: And after that |
| Felipe: onze |
| Paloma: meaning "eleven." |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) onze |
| Paloma: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: onze |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: Next is |
| Felipe: horas |
| Paloma: meaning "o'clock." |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) horas |
| Paloma: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: horas |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: Listen to the speaker say, "It's 11 o'clock," and then repeat. |
| Felipe: São onze horas. |
| {pause} |
| Paloma: To use a different phrase, replace "11 o'clock" with "two and ten," for ten minutes after 2 |
| Felipe: duas e dez |
| Paloma: "two and ten" |
| Felipe: (slow) duas e dez (regular) duas e dez |
| Paloma: Listen to the phrase again, this time with "two and ten." |
| Felipe: São duas e dez. |
| Paloma: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace "11 o'clock." Say "It's ten after two." |
| {pause} |
| Felipe: São duas e dez. |
| Paloma: To use a different phrase, replace "two and ten" with "three and fifteen." |
| Felipe: três e quinze |
| Paloma: "three and fifteen" |
| Felipe: (slow) três e quinze (regular) três e quinze |
| Paloma: Listen to the phrase again, this time with "three and fifteen." |
| Felipe: São três e quinze. |
| Paloma: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace the Portuguese for "two and ten." Say "It's three fifteen." |
| {pause} |
| Felipe: São três e quinze. |
| Paloma: To expand on the pattern, replace "three and fifteen" with "five and a half." |
| Felipe: cinco e meia |
| Paloma: "five and a half" |
| Felipe: (slow) cinco e meia (regular) cinco e meia |
| Paloma: Listen to the phrase again, this time with "five and a half." |
| Felipe: São cinco e meia. |
| Paloma: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace the Portuguese for "three and fifteen." Say "It's half-past five." |
| {pause} |
| Felipe: São cinco e meia. |
| QUIZ |
| Paloma: Now it's time for a quiz. Imagine you're visiting Brazil, and someone asks you what time it is. It's 11 o'clock. Respond to the question. |
| Felipe: Que horas são? (five seconds) São onze horas. |
| Paloma: Now imagine it's ten after two. Respond to the question. |
| Felipe: Que horas são? (five seconds) São duas e dez. |
| Paloma: Imagine it's three fifteen. Answer the speaker's question. |
| Felipe: Que horas são? (five seconds) São três e quinze. |
| Paloma: Imagine it's half-past five. Respond to the question. |
| Felipe: Que horas são? (five seconds) São cinco e meia. |
| Paloma: You want to ask someone what time it is. Ask the question |
