MP3 Audio (Lesson) | MP3 Audio (Dialog)

There is no question that grandparents love to be with the grandchildren. The hard part is choosing the activities that the kiddos enjoy. In today’s lesson that activity is not the circus, but after this lesson you will have the Portuguese to talk about other possible ways to entertain the grandchildren.

    Orlando y equipe,

    Tenho uma pergunta.

    Why is it “tem medo DE palhacos” instead of “tem medo DOS palhacos” ?

    Sorry, I don’t have a portuguese keyboard !

      Notice how when you say “de palhaços” it shows that we are referring to all palhaços in general. If one says, “dos palhaços” chances are that we are referring to some specific palhaços. That’s the main difference.
