- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Ready for another episode? Lucas: Absolutely. Today we're doing something a little different — a review episode. Luna: Oh, I love review episodes. It helps everything stick. What are we reviewing? Lucas: We're going back to ordering coffee. We covered it in an earlier episode, but let's refresh. Luna: Perfect. I could use a coffee right now. Lucas: Same. So let's start simple. If you want to order a coffee, you say: Eu quero um café. Luna: Eu quero um café. That's 'I want a coffee'. Lucas: Exactly. Now try it. Luna: Eu quero um café. Lucas: Perfect. Now, if you want it with milk, you add: Com leite, por favor. Luna: Com leite, por favor. So 'with milk, please'. Lucas: Right. And if you want it without sugar: Sem açúcar, por favor. Luna: Sem açúcar, por favor. That's 'without sugar, please'. Lucas: You got it. Now let's put it together. If someone asks you what you want, you can say: Eu quero um café com leite, por favor. Luna: Eu quero um café com leite, por favor. That's a full order. Lucas: Exactly. And then they'll tell you the price. But you can also ask: Quanto custa? Luna: Quanto custa? 'How much does it cost?' Lucas: Yes. So imagine you're at a café in Brazil. You say: Eu quero um café. Luna: Com leite, por favor. Lucas: Sem açúcar, por favor. Luna: And then Quanto custa? Lucas: Perfect. You just ordered coffee. Now, if you want a specific type, like an espresso: Um café expresso, por favor. Luna: Um café expresso, por favor. I love espresso. Lucas: Me too. So let's practice. Repeat after me: Um café expresso, por favor. Luna: Um café expresso, por favor. Lucas: Great. Now, Luna, if you were at a café and the waiter said 'O que vai ser?', what would you say? Luna: Eu quero um café com leite, por favor. Lucas: Excellent. And if they ask 'Com açúcar?' Luna: Sem açúcar, por favor. Lucas: You're ready. Now, I want to mention something.
