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.

Feel free to join us if you’d like to.DialogueA: Acabei de receber uma ligação da Barbara do Banco de Alimentos. B: Sim, e aí? Eles precisam de ajuda neste fim de semana? A: Sim.
