Língua da Gente - Portuguese Podcast: Dialogs

COERLL, University of Texas at Austin, Project Director: Orlando Kelm

In Brazil, the term língua da gente (literally "language of the people") refers to the way that people actually talk in everyday speech. And that, in essence, is the object behind this series. We hope to provide practical lessons that demonstrate how people really speak, and we do this by presenting brief, slice-of-life dialogs, which focus on some daily situation, scenario, or task that we encounter every day.
