Show Notes

After today’s lesson we will all feel like we need to go back to elementary school, unless of course you already know how to calculate the area of a trapezoid. Just kidding, but after this lesson you will be able to identify some basic shapes in Portuguese.

Dialogue

A: Você é professora do primário, não é?
B: Sou sim, adoro meu trabalho.
A: E o que você está ensinado agora?
B: Bom, essa semana estamos aprendendo as formas básicas: quadrado, retângulo, círculo, triângulo, etc.
A: E as crianças gostam?
B: Gostam, mas para alguns é difícil de entender a diferença entre paralelogramo e trapézios.
A: Eu também nunca entendia bem essas diferenças.
B: Bom, se precisar, pode voltar para a escola primária também, meu amigo!


A: You are an elementary school teacher, right?
B: Yes, I am, I love my job.
A: And what are you teaching now?
B: Well, this week we are learning the basic shapes: square, rectangle, circle, triangle, etc.
A: Do the children like it?
B: They do, but for some it is difficult to understand the difference between parallelogram and trapezoid.
A: I never understood those differences very well either.
B: Well, if you need to, you can come back to elementary school too, my friend!
