Transcript
- Lucas: Bem-vindos de volta to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. This is episode 70. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Hey Lucas, last episode we got a little worked up with 'com raiva'. Lucas: We did. But today let's chill out with some movement verbs. Let's learn 'correr' and 'andar'. Luna: Correr and andar. What do they mean? Lucas: 'Correr' means 'to run'. 'Andar' means 'to walk'. Two very different speeds. Luna: Okay, I can handle walking. Running, maybe not so much. Lucas: Let's start with 'correr'. Repeat after me: correr. Luna: Correr. Lucas: Good. Now 'andar': andar. Luna: Andar. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's use them in sentences. 'Eu corro no parque.' That means 'I run in the park'. Luna: Eu corro no parque. Lucas: Great. 'Corro' is the 'I' form of 'correr'. Next: 'Você anda na praia.' You walk on the beach. Luna: Você anda na praia. Lucas: Exactly. 'Anda' is 'you' form of 'andar'. Now let's try a third person: 'Ela corre todos os dias.' She runs every day. Luna: Ela corre todos os dias. Lucas: Nice. And plural: 'Nós andamos na rua.' We walk on the street. Luna: Nós andamos na rua. Lucas: You've got it. Let's practice a little conversation. Imagine you see me at the park. Luna: Okay. Oi Lucas, você corre no parque? Lucas: Sim, eu corro no parque. E você, Luna? Você anda na praia? Luna: Sim, eu ando na praia. I love the beach. Lucas: See, you're already using the verbs naturally. Let's do one more repetition. Repeat after me: correr. Luna: Correr. Lucas: Andar. Luna: Andar. Lucas: Eu corro no parque. Luna: Eu corro no parque. Lucas: Você anda na praia. Luna: Você anda na praia. Lucas: Ela corre todos os dias. Luna: Ela corre todos os dias. Lucas: Nós andamos na rua. Luna: Nós andamos na rua. Lucas: You know, if Fexingo has been helping you make progress with these verbs and phrases, we want to keep these episodes free and without ads.

Now, back to our verbs. Let's try a little challenge. Can you say 'I walk on the street'? Luna: Eu ando na rua. Lucas: Perfect. And 'She runs on the beach'? Luna: Ela corre na praia. Lucas: You nailed it. So, to wrap up: correr and andar. Two great verbs to get you moving in Portuguese. Luna: I feel like I could actually use these. Thanks Lucas. Lucas: My pleasure. Keep practicing, and we'll see you next time for more Portuguese.
