| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Braden: So Thássia, tell us about São Paulo. |
| Thássia: Well, São Paulo is often called Sampa by many locals and it's the sixth largest city in the world. |
| Braden: And São Paulo is an important commercial and cultural center and is often called “a cidade que não para” or “the non-stop city.” |
| Thássia: Any time of the day or night, there is always something to do. |
| Braden: Among the many things to do, could you highlight a few? |
| Thássia: Sure. The São Paulo Art Museum Assis Chateaubriand, or MASP, is pretty amazing. It was selected as one of the Seven Wonders of Brazil. Or the Ipiranga Museum, it holds many important items from Brazil’s history of independence. |
| Braden: It's also true that, Sampa is the headquarters of many big events, such as the Gay Pride Parade of São Paulo, the largest Gay Pride parade in the world, and the São Paulo Fashion Week, the most prestigious fashion event in Latin America. |

| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Braden: Let's have a closer look at the usuage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Thássia: In this lesson we’re going to learn the phrase “que tal.” |
| Braden: “Que tal” is used as “how about” or “how does it sound.” |
| Thássia: In the dialogue, Vinícius said “... e daí vamos para a 25 de marco, que tal?” which we translated as “...and from there we’ll go to March 25th Avenue, how does that sound?” |
| Braden: In a previous lesson, we learned one meaning of “bem” which was “fine.” |
| Thássia: In this lesson, we saw the speakers using “bem” with another meaning |
| Braden: In the dialogue, for this lesson, Bia said “Bem, a próxma cidade no nosso roteiro de viagem é o Rio de janeiro” to mean “Well, the next city on our trip route is Rio de Janeiro.” In this case, “bem” is just a filler to indicate you are about to say something. |
| Thássia: “Tomar banho” is the Portuguese expression for “to take a shower.” In the dialogue, Bia said “Mas eu vou querer tomar banho depois de andar de bicicleta” which we translated as “But I’m going to want to take a shower after riding bikes.” |
| Braden: Brazilians customarily take a shower before leaving home for activities, and after physical exercises. |
| Thássia: Also, Brazil is very hot, so taking at least one shower per day is a must. |
| Braden: Yeah, when it's really hot, they can take upto 5 shower in one day. São Paulo and some of the other southern states can get pretty cold though. Especially in the winter. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Braden: Let's take a look at the grammar point. |
| Thássia: The focus of this lesson is the verb “ir.” In the dialogue we heard the phrase "Então vamos ao parque e depois vamos para o hotel," |
| Braden: which we translated as "Then, we’ll go to the parque and after we’ll go to the hotel.” Here the word "vamos" is used to mean "we'll go." |
| Thássia: "Vamos" is a conjugated form of the irregular verb "ir." |
| Braden: The verb “ir” means “to go.” It is an irregular verb and is conjugated in the present tense as follows |
| Thássia: We learned the conjugation for the verb "ir" in ABS1 lesson 24, so we won't go through it again. but do check it out if you need a refresher. |
| Braden: So, when talking about going to a destination, the cojugated form of ir is usually followed by the preposition a (“to”). |
| Thássia: Right. For example, the phrase, Vou ao centro" translates to "I go the center." but it means "I am going downtown." |
| Braden: Or Vou do Recife ao Rio. translates to "I go from the Recife to the Rio." but it means "I am going from Recife to Rio." |
| Thássia: Recently we came across a great web site for conjugating Portuguese verbs. |
| Braden: Yeah, it's called conjuga-me.net. and we have the like in the lesson notes. It's not perfect but it's the best verb conjugation site I've ever used for Portuguese. |
| Thássia: That's true. It’s easy, fast and accurate. |
