Olá! 🌞 In this A1-level Portuguese lesson, we meet a new character, Rui, and explore how to describe people using ser, trabalhar, and falar in real, everyday contexts.
You’ll hear lots of simple, repeated Portuguese as we talk about where Rui works and what languages he speaks.
👉 What you’ll continue practising and learning:
✅ ser, trabalhar, falar and haver
✅ Saying where someone works
✅ Talking about languages people speak
✅ Understanding há (there is / there are)
✅ Asking and answering simple questions about people
This lesson uses comprehensible input, meaning you learn through listening, context, and repetition – not memorising grammar rules. Focus on understanding the message, even if you don’t catch every word.
💡 Tip: Rewatch the video during the week. Repetition helps the language feel more natural each time.
🔎 Language focus in this lesson. You’ll hear:
- ser → to describe who someone is and their job
- trabalhar em → to say where someone works
- falar → to talk about languages
- há → to say there is / there are
No need to memorise – just listen and notice patterns.
