Elementary 18: Give Me A Dozen Roses
from Língua da Gente - Portuguese Podcast: Dialogs Hosted by Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning
We all hope that someday, as a foreigner in Brazil, you have the opportunity to buy flowers. There is a delightful mix of the excitement in seeing the many new flowers, the relatively cheaper prices, and the fun of the exchange with the flower sellers. In this lesson we should learn some of the Portuguese that you’ll need for your flower-buying experience. Dialogue A: Boa tarde. Em que eu posso ajudar senhor? B: Boa tarde, queria comprar umas flores para minha esposa. A: Está bem. Que tipo de flores? B: Quem sabe um buquê de rosas. A: Que cor o senhor prefere? B: Essas vermelhas talvez. Que mais você tem? A: Bom. Essas brancas também são lindas. Também tem essas cor-de-rosa e essas amarelas. B: Essas amarelas são lindas. Me dá uma dúzia delas. A: Good afternoon. How may I help you? B: Good afternoon, I wanted to buy some flowers for my wife. A: Fine. What type of flowers? B: Perhaps a bouquet of roses. A: What color do you prefer? B: Maybe these red ones. What else do you have? A: Well, these white ones are pretty too. We also have these pink ones and these yellow ones. B: The yellow ones are pretty. Give me a dozen of them.
