🤒 Lição 12 — Estou com fome!

Saying how you feel the Brazilian way — estar com fome, sede, sono, medo — the body from head (a cabeça) to foot (o pé), and the strange little verb doer for when things hurt.

What Lição 12 teaches

Brazilian feelings — estar com fome/sede/sono/medo — the body, the backwards verb doer, and a trip to the doctor.

Like every Rumo lesson it runs in eight steps — review of the previous lesson, new words with audio, the grammar properly explained, flashcards and typing drills, a dialogue with comprehension questions, a one-page summary, a test you pass at 70%, and your results. About 40 minutes.

Grammar in this lesson

After level A2 you can…

handle a pharmacy visit and describe what hurts · ask for directions and actually understand the answer · bargain at the market and complain about the weather · tell stories about your childhood and week · sound Brazilian with tá, tô and a gente. In practice: you spend a whole Sunday churrasco chatting with your Brazilian friends — no English needed.
