B2 UPPER-INTERMEDIATE · LESSON 9 OF 10 · LIÇÃO 39 · ±45 MIN

🙃 Lição 39 — Sei…

Irony, humour and subtext — "Sei…", "depois a gente marca", "foi tranquilo". You already understand the words. Today you learn to hear what nobody actually said.

What Lição 39 teaches

Ironia e subtexto — the markers, the Brazilian soft "no" (depois a gente marca), and what kkk, rsrs and a full stop really mean.

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

Read the story for this lesson first — it is free: Só que não (~level B2, sentence-by-sentence translation and audio).

After level B2 you can…

talk about the past that didn\'t happen — regrets, should-haves, near-misses · survive Brazilian bureaucracy and read every official sign · switch between street slang and formal writing · argue a full opinion with structure and irony. In practice: you live in Brazil — renting, banking, joking, belonging — with Portuguese that surprises even the locals.

Level B2 is 10 lessons plus the Revisão B2 exam. This is lesson 9 of 10. The other lessons: Se eu tivesse sabido… · Para a gente se entender · À beira-mar · Um cafezinho? · Depende de quê? · Prezado senhor · Tá ligado? · Em primeiro lugar · Viver em português.
