I am sure you’re a nice person and therefore are very kind to people and always ask them how they are. If you’re in Brazil, you don’t need to lose your kindness because of a language barrier, just say: Como vai você? It is simple, right? Then, click here to listen to a dialogue that uses this very common expression in Brazil.
Bellow you find the dialogue in Portuguese and its translation to English:
- Bom dia! Como vai você? Good morning! How are you?
- Bem, obrigada. E você? Fine, thanks. And you?
- Mais ou menos. Eu moro na Avenida Paulista. O trânsito está muito ruim lá. More or less. I live on Paulista Avenue. Traffic is very bad there.
- Não é fácil morar em São Paulo! It is not easy to live in São Paulo!

Thank you so much for hosting an online Brasilian Portuguese Class! I am anxious to learn Brasilian Portuguese because the language is so beautiful and I would love to be able to sing some of my favorite songs by Antonio Carlos Jobim in Portuguese.
