Lesson#1
In Portuguese, words for pointing things out change depending on distance. You choose different words whether something is close to you, near the person you are speaking to, or far away from both of you. Learning these words will help you point out objects, ask about things around you, and talk about places clearly.
Lesson#2
To talk about location, Brazilian Portuguese uses distinct words for different distances. 'Aqui' means 'here', right near you. When something is near the person you are speaking with, say 'aí', meaning 'there'.
Quiz#3

Quiz#4
