Luna: Ooh, where? Lucas: To the zoo. Or in Portuguese, ao zoológico. Luna: Oh, I love the zoo! So we're learning animal names? Lucas: Exactly. A few common animals you'd see there. Let's start with a big one: leão. Luna: Leão. That sounds like lion. Lucas: Right. Leão. Say it with me: leão. Luna: Leão. Lucas: Perfect. Now another big one: elefante. Luna: Elefante. That's elephant, right? Lucas: Exactly. Elefante. And a tall one: girafa. Luna: Girafa. Like giraffe but with an f. Lucas: Yeah. Girafa. Now a funny one: macaco. Luna: Macaco. Monkey! That's fun. Lucas: And a scary one: crocodilo. Luna: Crocodilo. Crocodile. Okay, I can do this. Lucas: Great. Now let's put them in a sentence. Imagine you're at the zoo and you see a lion. You could say: Olha o leão! Luna: Olha o leão! Look at the lion! Lucas: Yes. And if you want to ask what an animal is, you say: Que animal é aquele? Luna: Que animal é aquele? What animal is that? That's useful. Lucas: Let's practice. I'll point to an imaginary animal and ask you: Que animal é aquele? Luna: Hmm... Elefante? Lucas: Yes! That's right. Elefante. Good job. Luna: Okay, my turn. Que animal é aquele? Lucas: Ah, that's a girafa. Luna: Girafa. Got it. Lucas: Now let's imagine we're walking around the zoo. I see the monkeys. I say: Olha o macaco! Luna: Olha o macaco! They're so cute. Lucas: And then I see the crocodile and say: Cuidado com o crocodilo! Luna: Cuidado com o crocodilo! Watch out for the crocodile! That's good to know. Lucas: Exactly.
