Get your FREE lesson pdf here: https://speakingbrazilian.kit.com/340_70_expressions Today you’re going to learn Portuguese in a super fun way! Let’s see if you can understand “piadas” (jokes) in Brazilian Portuguese. Understanding jokes in a foreign language is one of the hardest things because you need to understand vocabulary, nuance, cultural references, and wordplay or puns. But don’t worry! I selected simple jokes for our lesson today. These are jokes that would be considered “dad jokes.” In Brazil, we say they’re “piadas de tio” (uncle jokes). I chose seven jokes for this lesson. These jokes only make sense in Portuguese. If you translate them into another language, they probably won’t make any sense at all. I’m going to start with the easiest ones and leave the hardest ones for the end. If you understand the last joke, that means your Portuguese is excellent! Maybe you’re Brazilian and don’t even know it! Will you find these jokes funny? Let’s see! Give this episode a listen to have some fun with me telling these jokes! I’m really bad at telling jokes, but I had a lot of fun recording this video. I hope it makes you smile. 😊 Learn Portuguese with us!
