- Lucas: Hey there. Welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. It is so good to be here with you again. Lucas: It really is. We have been talking about many different places lately. Luna: Yes. From kitchens to beaches. Today we are going somewhere else entirely. Lucas: We are heading into the woods. Into nature. Luna: Oh, I love that idea. Camping? Is that right? Lucas: Exactly. But first, if Fexingo has been helping you make actual progress with this language, a couple of dollars a month is genuinely what keeps these going. You can support us at buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo — that's F. E. X. I. N. G. O. Luna: Yeah. It helps keep the show running smoothly for everyone. Lucas: Thank you. Now, let us pack our bags. Imagine you are at a campsite. Luna: I see tents everywhere. And trees. Lots of trees. Lucas: The first thing you notice is the size of your shelter. Let us say the tent is big. Luna: Is it just 'barraca'? How do I describe it? Lucas: We use an adjective. Listen: A barraca é grande. Luna: A barraca é grande. Okay. The tent is big. Lucas: Right. 'Barraca' means tent. 'É' is is. 'Grande' is big. Luna: A barraca é grande. Got it. Lucas: Let us try it again. A barraca é grande. Luna: A barraca é grande. I like saying that. It feels spacious. Lucas: It does. Now, look around. It is getting darker. Where is your light? Luna: I need my flashlight. But where did I put it? Lucas: You ask for it. Listen carefully: Onde está a lanterna? Luna: Onde está a lanterna? Where is the flashlight? Lucas: Correct. 'Onde' is where. 'Está' is is located. 'Lanterna' is flashlight. Luna: Onde está a lanterna? I hope it is not lost in the leaves. Lucas: Let us repeat it together. Onde está a lanterna? Luna: Onde está a lanterna? There it is, under the sleeping bag. Lucas: Good. One more time for practice. Onde está a lanterna? Luna: Onde está a lanterna? Okay, I found it. Bright light! Lucas: Great. Now, think about survival basics. What do you need most? Luna: Water? I am very thirsty after all that hiking. Lucas: Yes. You express necessity. Listen: Eu preciso de água. Luna: Eu preciso de água. I need water. Lucas: Precisely. 'Eu preciso de' means I need. 'Água' is water. Luna: Eu preciso de água.

Eu preciso de água. Luna: Eu preciso de água. Ah, that tastes better now. Lucas: Perfect. Finally, night falls. What is the best part of camping? Luna: The fire! Sitting by the warmth. Making s'mores. Lucas: So you suggest lighting it. Listen: Vamos acender a fogueira. Luna: Vamos acender a fogueira. Let us light the campfire. Lucas: Exactly. 'Vamos' is let us or we go. 'Acender' is to light. 'Fogueira' is campfire. Luna: Vamos acender a fogueira. That sounds cozy. And romantic. Lucas: It is a classic suggestion. Let us try it again. Vamos acender a fogueira.
