Latest / Learn Portuguese with Fexingo / Portuguese at the Zoo – Animals Review
Transcript
- Lucas: Luna, ready for another tiny Portuguese lesson? Luna: Always, Lucas! What are we diving into today? Lucas: Last episode we went to the zoo. I thought we could revisit those animals — just a quick review. Luna: Oh perfect. I remember leão, elefante... but the others got a bit fuzzy. Lucas: That's exactly why we review. So let's start with leão. Listen: leão. Luna: leão. That one's stuck — it sounds so majestic. Lucas: And elefante. Luna: elefante. Big and strong. Lucas: Next: girafa. Luna: girafa. That's fun to say. Girafa. Lucas: And macaco. Luna: macaco. Makes me think of a cheeky monkey. Lucas: Last one: crocodilo. Luna: crocodilo. Oof, that one's a mouthful. Crocodilo. Lucas: You got it. Now, imagine you're at the zoo with a friend. You see a lion and say: Olha o leão! Luna: Olha o leão! And if I see a monkey? Olha o macaco! Lucas: Exactly. And your friend might ask: Que animal é aquele? That animal over there. Luna: Que animal é aquele? And you point and say: É uma girafa. Lucas: Perfect. Let's practice a quick dialogue. You're at the zoo with me. I say: Olha o crocodilo! Luna: Nossa, que grande! And then I say: E que animal é aquele? Lucas: And I say: É um elefante. Luna: Ahh, yes. Elefante. I love that. Lucas: Now let's do a little challenge. I'll say the animal in English, you say it in Portuguese. Lion. Luna: leão. Lucas: Elephant. Luna: elefante. Lucas: Giraffe. Luna: girafa. Lucas: Monkey. Luna: macaco. Lucas: Crocodile. Luna: crocodilo. Nailed it. Lucas: You absolutely did. You know, if Fexingo has been helping you make progress with these animal names and everything else, a couple of dollars a month is genuinely what keeps these going — buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo, if you've gotten something out of them. Luna: Yeah, it really helps keep the show ad-free and coming. Every bit counts. Lucas: So now, let's use these words in a full sentence. Imagine you're telling a friend about your zoo visit. You could say: Eu vi um leão, um elefante e uma girafa. Luna: Eu vi um leão, um elefante e uma girafa. That's a nice sentence. Lucas: And if you saw a monkey and a crocodile too: Eu vi um macaco e um crocodilo. Luna: Eu vi um macaco e um crocodilo. I can do that. Lucas: Awesome. So as a final recap: leão, elefante, girafa, macaco, crocodilo. Luna: leão, elefante, girafa, macaco, crocodilo. I've got them now. Thanks, Lucas! Lucas: You're welcome. Practice these and next time we'll build on them. Até logo! Luna: Até logo!
