What Lição 19 teaches

Connectors — the glue que, por que vs porque, se for ifs — plus dizer (digo, disse) and the untranslatable saudade.

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

• Que, porque & se — connecting your thoughts — The glue word que, the por que / porque pair, if-sentences with se, and dizer (digo, disse).
• Adverbs in -mente — rapidamente, felizmente — Turn any adjective into an adverb — the Portuguese "-ly".

Read the story for this lesson first — it is free: A palavra que não existe (~level A2, sentence-by-sentence translation and audio).

After level A2 you can…
