You know those small places with coffee and fried snacks. Luna: Oh, I love those. The smell is amazing. Lucas: It is. And there is one snack that is everywhere. It is called coxinha. Luna: Coxinha. Is it like a chicken leg? That is what it means, right? Lucas: Exactly. It is shaped like a drumstick. But inside, it is shredded chicken and cheese, covered in breadcrumbs and fried. Luna: Stop it. I am already hungry just hearing this. Lucas: So, let us practice ordering one. This is our first phrase. Luna: Ready. Lucas: Say: Uma coxinha de frango, por favor.

Luna: Uma coxinha de frango, por favor. Lucas: Great. Now, imagine you are at the counter. The worker asks if you want anything else. Luna: Maybe some salad? Brazilians usually serve coxinha with salad. Lucas: You are right. So, you can ask: Tem salada? Luna: Let me try. Tem salada? Lucas: Good. Say it with me. Tem salada? Luna: Tem salada? Lucas: One more time. Tem salada? Luna: Tem salada? Lucas: Okay. Now you have your snack. You need to know the price. Luna: Right. Prices can change sometimes. Lucas: So, ask: Quanto custa? Luna: Quanto custa? Lucas: Let me model it. Quanto custa? Luna: Quanto custa? Lucas: Again. Quanto custa? Luna: Quanto custa? Lucas: Nice. Now, coxinha is often served with a little sauce. Maybe ketchup or mayonnaise. Luna: I love the sauce. It makes it so much better. Lucas: So, you can ask: Pode ser com molho? Luna: Pode ser com molho? Lucas: Let me say it. Pode ser com molho? Luna: Pode ser com molho? Lucas: One more time. Pode ser com molho? Luna: Pode ser com molho? Lucas: Finally, they will ask if you stay or take it away. Luna: This is important.
