Elementary 21: I Don’t Get Art

MP3 Audio (Lesson) | MP3 Audio (Dialog)

Some love museums, and others don’t. What is exceptionally exciting for one person, is the height of boredom for another. Either way, if you do go to the museum, don’t ruin it for the others by making wisecracks, snide comments, and ugly faces during the whole visit. Be nice, and in this lesson we learn to be nice about it in Portuguese.

    Hi, I really enjoy the program. Thank you very much for all your efforts to make it happen.
    I am writing this just to let you know that the introductory text of this lesson is the one from I Nearly Froze To Death.

    Loved the clarification “Tempo todo” vs “Todo tempo.” Nunca pensei nisso.

    Estou usando esse website quase todo dia. Obrigado!
