MP3 Audio (Lesson) | MP3 Audio (Dialog)

Salgadinhos, those salty snack foods that we all love to eat, even if do so with a little sense of guilt, knowing that they just can’t be all that healthy of an option. Still, in today’s lesson we give you a pretty good list of many of the salgadinhos that you should try. And, as long as you don’t go too crazy, feel free to eat them without feely guilty.

 A: Quais são seus petiscos favoritos?
What are your favorite snacks?
  B: Gosto muito de salgadinho: bolinho de bacalhau, coxinha, croquetes de carne.
I really like salty snacks: codfish croquette, chicken croquette, meat croquette.
  A: É, as vezes eu prefiro até petiscos, e nem peço o prato principal.
Yeah, sometimes I even prefer snack foods, and I don’t even order the main dish.
  B: Você gosta do torresmo?
Do you like pork rinds?
  A: Gosto, mais acho que até prefiro polenta frita ou coração de galinha.
I do, but I think that I actually prefer fried cornbread or chicken hearts.
  B: Tudo isso, uau! Você gosta mesmo de petisco, né?
All this, wow! You really do like snack foods, right?
  A: Sei que não são muito saudáveis, mas de vez em quando está bom.
I know they aren’t really healthy, but every so often it’s fine.
  B: Tá, a próxima vez lá em casa a Mariane vai fazer um escondidinho de carne seca pra você. Sei que você vai adorar.
OK, next time your at our house Mariane will make a beef jerky surprise for you. I know you’ll love it.
