push, puxe

push, puxe exists because language likes to embarrass us in public.In English, push means push. Simple enough. Then you get to Brazil, see puxe on a door, your brain gets confident, your hand moves forward, and the door refuses to cooperate. Because in Portuguese, puxe means pull.That tiny moment is exactly why I love teaching through music. False friends and look-alike words are easier to remember when they come with rhythm, humor, and a little humility. This song plays with that confusion while also practicing useful direction words like push, pull, up, down, left, right, north, south, east, and west.Sometimes the best lesson is the one that makes you laugh at yourself before the door does.study cards and the blog are at lingua.faafo.app --- all my shows are at faafo.app/radio
