That sounds very doable. Lucas: It is. So, to start, you can say: Eu quero um sanduíche. That means 'I want a sandwich.' Luna: Eu quero um sanduíche. Lucas: Perfect. And if you want it on French bread, you add: com pão francês. Luna: Com pão francês. That's French bread? Lucas: Exactly. So together: Eu quero um sanduíche com pão francês, por favor. I want a sandwich with French bread, please. Luna: Eu quero um sanduíche com pão francês, por favor. That rolls off the tongue. Lucas: You sound like a local already. Then you'll need to ask the price: Quanto é? How much is it? Luna: Quanto é. Simple and direct. Lucas: Right. And when you're eating it and enjoying it, you can say: O sanduíche está delicioso. The sandwich is delicious. Luna: O sanduíche está delicioso. I hope I get to say that today. Lucas: Let me give you a little scene. Imagine you're at a lanchonete. You walk up and say: 'Eu quero um sanduíche com pão francês, por favor.' Then you ask 'Quanto é?' They say 'Dez reais.' You pay, and later you say 'O sanduíche está delicioso.' Luna: Okay, let me try that. Eu quero um sanduíche com pão francês, por favor. Quanto é? Dez reais? And then... O sanduíche está delicioso. Perfect? Lucas: Absolutely perfect. You're ready for lunch. Luna: You know, this is exactly the kind of phrase I'd use at a real place. And I love that Fexingo keeps it ad-free. No interruptions, just learning. Lucas: Yeah, that's important to us.
