| INTRODUCTION |
| Paloma: In each lesson of this 25 part series, you'll master a common question for Portuguese learners, and then learn how to answer it like a native. You'll learn how these key phrases work by breaking them down into each component. Then through repetition and new vocabulary, you'll expand your understanding of the question, its answers, and any variations. |

| Paloma: In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question Where do you live? In Portuguese this is |
| Felipe: Onde você mora? |
| Paloma: The first word in the question is |
| Felipe: onde |
| Paloma: meaning “where” in English. |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) onde |
| Paloma: Listen again and repeat. |
| Felipe: onde |
| {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: você |
| Paloma: meaning “you”. |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) você |
| Paloma: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: você |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: Listen to the the first 2 words of the question and repeat. |
| Felipe: onde você |
| {pause} |
| Paloma: And after that |
| Felipe: mora |
| Paloma: meaning “(you) live”. |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) mora |
| Paloma: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: mora |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: Listen to the entire question and repeat. |
| Felipe: onde você mora? |
| {pause} |

| Felipe: Eu moro em Nova York. |
| Paloma: "I live in New York.” Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase. |
| Felipe: (Slow) Eu moro em Nova York. |
| {pause} |
| Paloma: Let's break it down from the beginning. The first word: |
| Felipe: eu |
| Paloma: meaning “I”. |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) eu |
| Paloma: Now repeat |
| Felipe: eu |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: And next |
| Felipe: moro |
| Paloma: meaning “(I) live.” |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) moro |
| Paloma: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: moro |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: And next |
| Felipe: em |
| Paloma: meaning “in”. |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) em |
| Paloma: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: em |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: And after that |
| Felipe: Nova York |
| which is “New York.” |
| Felipe: (Slow, by syllable) Nova York |
| Paloma: Now repeat. |
| Felipe: Nova York |
| {Pause} |
| Paloma: Listen to the speaker say, “I live in New York”, and then repeat. |
| Felipe: Eu moro em Nova York. |
| {pause} |
| Paloma: To expand on the pattern, replace “New York” with “Tokyo.” |
| Felipe: Tóquio |
| Paloma: Tokyo |
| Felipe: (slow) Tóquio (regular) Tóquio |
| Paloma: Listen to the phrase again, this time with “Tokyo” |
| Felipe: Eu moro em Tóquio. |
| Paloma: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace “New York”. Say “I live in Tokyo.” |
| {pause} |
| Felipe: Eu moro em Tóquio. |
| Paloma: To make another phrase, replace “Tokyo” with “Paris”. |
| Felipe: Paris |
| Paloma: Paris |
| Felipe: (slow) Paris (regular) Paris |
| Paloma: Listen to the phrase again, this time with “Paris” |
| Felipe: Eu moro em Paris. |

| Paloma: To use a different phrase, replace “Paris” with “Vancouver”. |
| Felipe: Vancouver |
| Paloma: Vancouver |
| Felipe: (slow) Vancouver (regular) Vancouver |
| Paloma: Listen to the phrase again, this time with “Vancouver” |
