Língua da Gente - Portuguese Podcast: Lessons

In Brazil, the term língua da gente (literally 'language of the people') refers to the way that people actually talk in everyday speech. And that, in essence, is the object behind this series. We hope to provide practical lessons that demonstrate how people really speak, and we do this by presenting brief, slice-of-life dialogs, which focus on some daily situation, scenario, or task that we encounter every day.

    Slice of Life 49: Finals Week

    Final exams are very stressful for high school students. With one test determining 25% of their semester average, students need to ace these tests to do well. Finals week comes at the end of every semester. While students usually have 4 classes a day, on finals week they have 2 two-hour long exam periods; the day ends at lunch time.DialogueA: Nem acredito que já estamos na semana das provas finais! B: Eu sei. Parece que a escola começou ontem. A: Não é? Eu não estudei o suficiente. B: Bom, você tem sorte porque como as provas Só tomam metade do dia, você pode passar a outra metade estudando. A: É, mas minhas primeiras provas são de Matemática e Biologia. Eu não quero arruinar 25% da minha média final. B: Tenho certeza de que você vai se dar bem. A: Que provas você têm primeiro? B: História e Cerâmica. Todas as minhas provas difíceis são no final da semana. A: O bom é que a gente entra de férias assim que os exames terminarem. B: É. Não vejo a hora de botar o sono em dia.A: I can’t believe it’s already finals week! B: I know. It seems like school just started yesterday. A: I know, right? I haven’t studied enough.
