 A: Are you ready for your driving lesson?
Tá pronta pra sua aula de direção?
  B: Yeah. Let me just grab my sunglasses.
Tô. Deixa só eu pegar meus óculos de sol.
  A: Today we’re gonna practice driving on the highway.
Hoje a gente vai treinar dirigir na estrada.
  B: Are you sure? I don’t know if I’m ready for that.
Tem certeza? Não sei se estou pronta pra isso.
  A: Well, we can practice on a less busy street today if you want, but eventually we need to get you on the highway.
Bom, a gente pode praticar numa rua mais tranquila hoje, se você quiser, mas um dia desses você vai ter que enfrentar uma estrada.
  B: Okay, sounds good.
Tá, tá bom.
  A: Do you have your permit with you?
Você tá levando a sua licença?
  B: Yeah, I keep it in the car inside my wallet.
Tô, eu deixo no carro, na minha carteira.
  A: Okay. Where did I put my keys now?
Tá. Agora, onde eu botei minhas chaves?
  B: Oh no… not again…
