    Olá! Have you ever gotten scared when seeing these words in Portuguese? PRA / PRO Don't be, it's just an informal way of saying "para" (for/to). The first one, "pra", can be only the preposition "para" contracted, or it can be a combination of preposition + article (para + a / para + o), where "a" is the article used for feminine nouns, like "casa" (house), "menina" (girl), "lua" (moon), etc., and "o" is the article used for masculine nouns, like "amor" (love), "computador" (computer), "menino" (boy), etc. Check it out: Eu trabalho pra (para) pagar minhas contas. I work to pay my bills. (Eu) Tenho uma surpresa pra (para) você! I've got a surprise for you! (Nós) Estamos indo pra (para a) casa da minha mãe. We are going to my mother's house. / We are heading to my mom's. (Eu) Comprei cordas novas pro (para o) meu violão. I have bought new strings for my guitar. * As for the parenthesized pronouns in the sentences above: usually, we can omit the pronouns by using only the conjugated verbs to indicate the person. **Please remember: PRAS (para + as) / PROS (para + os) for plural nouns. Feel free to ask me anything or to suggest a new topic! :)

    Here is my Portuguese translation exercise. May I ask for your help to correct it? Thank you very much A indústria de joia luxuosa tem sido uma vocação ocupada pelas elites por bastante tempo. Mas as marcas estão a abrir-se. A Van Cleef & Arpels deseja que a visão e a história das joias possam chegar ao publico. Em dezembro do ano passado, a Van Cleef & Arpels organizou um curso para ampliar a visão do público e dos estudantes sobre joias como uma carreira. Com a ajuda de uma escola secundária, 200 estudantes aprenderam e experimentaram as habilidades de um joalheiro. A ideia do curso é tornar as joias mais acessíveis ao público na França. “Sabemos que, tradicionalmente, essas habilidades originaram-se de famílias ricas e escolas de arte.” disse Marie-Aude Stocker, diretora da Van Cleef & Arpels. No curso, os estudantes aprenderam tudo sobre o passo a passo da fabricação de joias por joalheiros profissionais. Finalmente, eles criaram as suas próprias joias e as levaram para casa. “Queríamos que eles descobrissem todas as habilidades e pudessem dizer ‘É algo que não é apenas sonho, mas que posso fazer como carreira’ quando saíssem.”

    Hey, guys! Please, I need to translate to Portuguese a sentence that says "The month shall be filled out based on the watch/dayman schedule for the month". The sentence is easy, the problem is the actual meaning of the words "Watch/dayman". In this case, they mean "watchman" and "dayman", right? Or there's another meaning in this context? How one would translate them in Portuguese?

    Hi, guys! Would any English speaker interested in participating for one hour only, on Sep 4, in my English literature class for disadvantaged kids? The class will take place on Zoom, and I believe this would be the first contact of those kids with a foreigner! There's no need to teach anything if you don't want to, don't worry! It would be great just a little chat with them. Knowing a little of Portuguese or Spanish will help a lot too, because they aren't fluent speakers. 😊

    Hey, Farnia! I've just graduated from university with a BA in English and Literature. My level is C1 because I need to improve my speaking since I live in Brazil and I can't speak English on a daily basis. I'm booking some classes with tutors here and there, but I think we can talk to each other in order to practice it as a routine, by Skype if you wish. Just let me know if you're interested! :)

    My daily routine consists of starting to work just after waking up and before having breakfast, since I work from home and I don't feel hungry so early. I start my job at 8 a.m., then I stop for lunch during one hour, and I leave at 5 p.m., when I don't have to stay longer. After that, I usually take a break of one or two hours and then I start to study something like English or Literature. I rarely have dinner, I prefer to have some snack at night instead of cooking after a long day of work, and I finally go to sleep at 1 a.m. because it's the usual time I begin to feel asleep.
