    A Arte de Meter o Louco - The Brazilian Art of Playing Dumb.

    Have you ever heard a Brazilian say “meter o louco”, “dar um migué” or “tacar o foda-se”? In today's episode of Brazilian Break, we're talking about the art of pretending you have no idea what's going on, making excuses, losing your patience and sometimes just not giving a f**k. We'll teach you some very Brazilian expressions that you probably won't find in your Portuguese textbook. And yes, there's a lot of swearing in this one. You've been warned. So stop pretending you don't understand Portuguese and press play! Want to take classes with us?

    How Brazilians Say NO Without Saying NO.

    “Bora marcar!” — Sounds like a plan, right? Well… not necessarily. In today's episode of Brazilian Break, we're talking about the excuses Brazilians use when they don't really want to go somewhere. From “vamos ver” to “te dou um toque”, we'll help you understand when a Brazilian is making plans… and when they're politely trying to escape them. So stop making excuses and press play!

    Porra! É o terceiro episódio da série "Palavrões em Português".

    O episódio de hoje é mais um da nossa série de palavrões. E hoje a gente vai falar de um palavrão bom pra porra: porra. A gente vai te mostrar como brasileiros usam essa palavra para reclamar, se surpreender, intensificar uma frase, falar que não quer fazer porra nenhuma ou só colocar mais emoção na conversa. Porque, no português brasileiro, palavrão também é contexto, tom de voz e sentimento. Dá o play e vem aprender como usar porra sem fazer merda. Quer ter aulas com a gente?

    What Is the Urna Eletrônica? How Brazilian Elections Work

    In today’s episode of Brazilian Break, we talk about the urna eletrônica, the electronic voting machine Brazilians use to vote. We explain what an urna is, how voting worked before, and why the Brazilian voting process is such an important part of the country’s democracy. We also talk about some very strange old election fraud names, like urna grávida, eleitor fósforo and voto formiguinha. A simple episode about elections, vocabulary and a very Brazilian piece of technology. Viva a democracia. And bora entender how Brazil votes. Want to take classes with us?

    Brazilian Nicknames: Cute or Passive-Aggressive?

    Neste episódio do Brazilian Break, a gente fala sobre apelidos fofos, carinhosos… e às vezes nem tão fofos assim. No Brasil, é comum ouvir coisas como meu amor, meu bem, querida, flor, chuchu, amorzinho, fofinha e até uns apelidos com nome de comida que vão ficando cada vez mais cafonas. Mas como sempre: tudo depende do contexto e do tom de voz. Porque querida pode ser carinho. Mas querida também pode significar: “eu estou tentando não brigar com você agora”. Também tem mini role play na padaria. Um episódio para quem aprende português e quer entender não só as palavras, mas o clima por trás delas. Quer ter aulas com a gente?
