Transcript
- Lucas: Hey, welcome back to Learn Portuguese with Fexingo. I'm Lucas, and as always, I've got Luna here with me. Luna: Hi! And I'm ready to learn some more Portuguese. Last episode, we were feeling all the nerves, but I've calmed down since then. Lucas: That's good to hear. Today, we're going to build on the hobbies we talked about in episode 209. We already covered 'Eu gosto de ler' and 'Eu gosto de cozinhar'. Now, let's add a few more. Luna: More hobbies? I love that. I've been practicing my reading. Lucas: Perfect. So, let's start with a new one. 'Eu gosto de viajar.' That means 'I like to travel.' Luna: Eu gosto de viajar. That's a fun one. I do like to travel. Lucas: And how about 'Eu gosto de fotografar'? That's 'I like to take photos'. You can use it when you're on a trip. Luna: Eu gosto de fotografar. Hmm, that's a longer one. Let me try again. Eu gosto de fotografar. Lucas: You got it. Now, remember 'Eu gosto de cozinhar' from before? We'll bring it back in a moment. But first, let's practice what we have. Luna: Okay, so I can say 'Eu gosto de viajar' and 'Eu gosto de fotografar'. But how do I ask someone about their hobby? Lucas: Great question. We learned 'Qual é o seu hobby?' before. Let's repeat that. Qual é o seu hobby? Luna: Qual é o seu hobby? That's useful. So, I can ask that and then they tell me about their hobbies. Lucas: Exactly. Let's do a little scene. Imagine you meet someone at a party. You ask, 'Qual é o seu hobby?' And they say, 'Eu gosto de viajar.' Luna: Oh nice. Then I can say, 'Eu também gosto de viajar.' But wait, how do I say 'me too'? Lucas: You just said it: 'Eu também'. So, 'Eu também gosto de viajar' means 'I also like to travel.' Luna: Eu também gosto de viajar. That's perfect. I'll use that at the party. Lucas: Now, let's mix it up. Can you say 'I like to cook' again? Luna: Eu gosto de cozinhar. That was from earlier. I remember. Lucas: Yes! And what about 'I like to read'? Luna: Eu gosto de ler. Easy. Lucas: Great. So now we have five hobby phrases. Let's go through them all: Eu gosto de ler, eu gosto de cozinhar, eu gosto de viajar, eu gosto de fotografar, and Qual é o seu hobby? Luna: That's a nice set. I'll practice them later. But first, let's do another scene. Say I'm talking to my friend about her weekend. Lucas: Good idea. You could say, 'No fim de semana, eu gosto de viajar.' Remember 'fim de semana' from episode 207? Luna: Yes. So, 'No fim de semana, eu gosto de viajar' means 'On the weekend, I like to travel.' Nice. Lucas: Now, let's bring it all together with a tiny story. Luna, let's pretend you're at a café with a friend. They ask you, 'Qual é o seu hobby?' What do you say? Luna: I'd say, 'Eu gosto de ler e eu gosto de fotografar.' Lucas: Beautiful. You just used two hobbies in one sentence. And remember, you can connect them with 'e'. Luna: That's so cool. I feel like I'm getting better. Lucas: You are. Now, let's do a quick review. I'll say a phrase in English, and you say it in Portuguese. 'I like to travel.' Luna: Eu gosto de viajar. Lucas: I like to take photos. Luna: Eu gosto de fotografar. Lucas: What is your hobby? Luna: Qual é o seu hobby? Lucas: Perfect. Now, I want to share something honest with you, since we're all friends here.

We're grateful for everyone who chips in. Lucas: And if you can't, no worries. You can still learn with us every episode. So, back to hobbies. Luna, try asking me my hobby. Luna: Qual é o seu hobby, Lucas? Lucas: Eu gosto de ler e cozinhar. But I also like to travel when I can. Luna: That's awesome. I think I've got these phrases down. Let's do a final round. Lucas: Alright. I'll say a sentence, and you repeat after me. Eu gosto de viajar. Luna: Eu gosto de viajar. Lucas: Eu gosto de fotografar. Luna: Eu gosto de fotografar. Lucas: Eu gosto de cozinhar. Luna: Eu gosto de cozinhar. Lucas: And finally, Eu gosto de ler. Luna: Eu gosto de ler. Lucas: You did it. Keep practicing these, and soon you'll be talking about your hobbies like a pro.
