8 Brazilian weird expressions not known by those whose first language is not Portuguese

Author: Lucy Mary Johnson January 5, 2022 Duration: 10:12

This podcast is a dialogue between two neighbors, Cinda e Linda. Cida is from Northeast of Brazil, where the accent sounds that she is singing when is talking. Cida has another accent, completely different cus she is from Southeast of Brazil. 

Not only to show the different accents but also to introduce some of our weird Brazilian expressions, which are not taught at school, or Portuguese courses. It is used only by the native, and if you want to sound like a Brazilian native speaker, I would strongly recommend learning them, in order to be able to understand their meaning, when somebody talks to you.

If you still want to learn thoroughly, contact me through my Instagram channel and I can give you the PDF so that you can follow and connect the listening to the speaking and reading skills.

hope you have enjoyed it and made the most of it. I have also asked what do you want to hear in my podcasts, are they good for you?

Lucy Mary Johnson has been helping students find their voice in Portuguese for years, and now she brings that same patient, practical guidance to her audio lessons. Tuning into Brazilian Portuguese Language-Teacher Mary feels less like a formal class and more like a helpful conversation with a friend who happens to be an expert. Each episode is built around real-life situations-ordering food in a *lanchonete*, making plans with friends, or understanding the lyrics of a popular samba song. You’ll hear the natural rhythm and melody of the language as Mary breaks down colloquial phrases, explains tricky grammar without the jargon, and offers cultural notes that give the words context. This podcast is designed for those who want to move beyond textbook Portuguese and into the vibrant, living language spoken in Brazil’s cities and towns. Progress comes through consistent, manageable exposure, and Mary’s calm, clear explanations make it easy to fit learning into a daily routine. Whether you're preparing for a trip, connecting with heritage, or just love the sound of Portuguese, these episodes provide a structured yet relaxed path forward. The focus is always on comprehension and confident speaking, turning the often daunting process of language acquisition into something genuinely enjoyable and achievable.
