Show Notes

How do you keep those houseplants alive? For some it is easy, for others there is no hope. Do you have a green thumb? And if so, and you talk about it in Portuguese? After today’s lesson you will be one step closer (at least in talking about it).

Dialogue

A: Marilene, você diz que adora plantas em casa, mas olha lá.
B: Uai, você não acha que são lindas?
A: Lindas? Querida, elas estão quase mortas.
B: Quem sabe elas precisam de mais luz.
A: O que elas precisam é de mais água.
B: Pode ser, tem razão. Sou ruim como jardineira.


A: Marilene, you say that you love houseplants, but look there.
B: What, don’t you think they are pretty?
A: Pretty? Dear, they are almost dead.
B: Maybe they just need more light.
A: What they need is more water.
B: You might be right, I am a lousy gardener.
