- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. It's our 50th episode! Can you believe it? Lucas: I know. So exciting. And today we have a fun topic — things you might find at school. Luna: Ooh, school! I remember we learned 'mesa' and 'cadeira' before. Lucas: Right, table and chair. Today we'll add a few more. Let's start with 'escola'. Luna: Escola. Lucas: That's it. 'Escola' means school. Repeat after me: escola. Luna: Escola. Lucas: Good. Now a sentence: 'Eu vou para a escola.' means I go to school. Luna: Eu vou para a escola. Lucas: Perfect. 'Eu vou' is I go, 'para a escola' is to school. Say it with me: Eu vou para a escola. Luna: Eu vou para a escola. Lucas: Great. Now let's learn 'lápis' — pencil. Luna: Lápis. Lucas: Yes. And 'caderno' — notebook. Luna: Caderno. Lucas: You got it. And finally 'professor' — teacher. Note: for a female teacher, it's 'professora'. Luna: Professor. Professora. Lucas: Exactly. Let's put them together in a mini dialogue. Imagine you're at school. Luna: Okay. Lucas: I'll say: 'Eu vou para a escola.' You say: 'Eu tenho um lápis e um caderno.' Luna: Eu tenho um lápis e um caderno. Lucas: Nice. 'Tenho' means I have, you remembered from earlier episodes. So you have a pencil and a notebook. And then I say: 'O professor está na escola.' Luna: The teacher is at school. 'Está' from estar. Lucas: Exactly. Now your turn: 'A professora está na escola?' Luna: A professora está na escola? Lucas: Yes, question. And I answer: 'Sim, a professora está na escola.' Luna: Sim, a professora está na escola. Lucas: Perfect. Let's review all the words: escola, lápis, caderno, professor, and the sentence Eu vou para a escola. Luna: Escola, lápis, caderno, professor, Eu vou para a escola. Lucas: Excellent. Now let's practice one more time. I'll say the English, you say the Portuguese. Luna: Alright. Lucas: School. Luna: Escola. Lucas: Pencil. Luna: Lápis. Lucas: Notebook. Luna: Caderno. Lucas: Teacher. Luna: Professor. Lucas: And I go to school. Luna: Eu vou para a escola. Lucas: Perfect. You did great today, Luna. Luna: Thanks! I love these school words. It makes me feel like a student again.
