| INTRODUCTION |
| Paloma: In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question "Are you hungry?" |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| In Portuguese this is |
| Felipe: Você está com fome? |
| 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: está |
| Paloma: meaning "are." |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) está |
| Paloma: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: está |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: Listen to the the first 2 words of the question and repeat. |
| Felipe: você está |
| {pause} |
| Paloma: And after that |
| Felipe: com |
| Paloma: meaning "with." |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) com |
| Paloma: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: com |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: Listen to the the first 3 words of the question and repeat. |

| Felipe: fome |
| Paloma: meaning "hunger." |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) fome |
| Paloma: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: fome |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: Listen to the entire question and repeat. |
| Felipe: você está com fome? |
| {pause} |
| Paloma: (You'll hear this common question again and again throughout your studies.) Master the following pattern and responses to the question "Are you hungry?" |
| Felipe: Sim, eu estou com um pouco de fome. |
| Paloma: "Yes, I'm a little hungry." Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase. |
| Felipe: (Slow) Sim, eu estou com um pouco de fome. |
| {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 |

| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) um pouco |
| Paloma: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: um pouco |
| {Pause} |

| Paloma: And after that |
| Felipe: fome |
| Paloma: meaning "hunger." |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) fome |
| Paloma: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: fome |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: Listen to the speaker say, "Yes, I'm a little hungry," and then repeat. |
| Felipe: Sim, eu estou com um pouco de fome. |
| {pause} |
| Paloma: To use a different phrase, replace "a little" with "very." |
| Felipe: bastante |
| Paloma: "very" |
| Felipe: (slow) bastante (regular) bastante |
| Paloma: Listen to the phrase again, this time with "very." |
| Felipe: Sim, eu estou com bastante fome. |
| Paloma: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace "a little." Say "Yes, I'm very hungry." |
| {pause} |
| Felipe: Sim, eu estou com bastante fome. |
| Paloma: To expand on the pattern, replace "very" with "a little bit." |
| Felipe: um pouquinho |
| Paloma: "a little bit" |
| Felipe: (slow) um pouquinho (regular) um pouquinho |
| Paloma: Listen to the phrase again, this time with "a little bit." |
| Felipe: Sim, eu estou com um pouquinho de fome. |
| Paloma: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace the Portuguese for "very." Say "Yes, I'm a little bit hungry." |
| {pause} |
| Felipe: Sim, eu estou com um pouquinho de fome. |
| Paloma: To expand on the pattern, replace "a little bit" with "dying." |
| Felipe: morrendo |
| Paloma: "dying" |
| Felipe: (slow) morrendo (regular) morrendo |
| Paloma: Listen to the phrase again, this time with "dying." |
| Felipe: Sim, eu estou morrendo de fome. |
| Paloma: It mostly stays the same. Simply remove “with” and replace the Portuguese for "a little bit. “with dying" Say "Yes, I'm dying of hunger." |
| {pause} |
| Felipe: Sim, eu estou morrendo de fome. |
| Paloma: To say "no", in a simple way, just say... |
| Felipe: Não, eu não estou com fome. |
| Paloma: Which is like saying "No, I'm not hungry," in English. Let's hear it slowly. |
| Felipe: (Slowly) Não, eu não estou com fome. |
| Paloma: And one more time at normal speed... |
| Felipe: Não, eu não estou com fome. |
