As Francisca shares one of her favourite recipes with Alex, you’ll learn vocabulary related to food and cooking, and hear how the imperativo mood is used to give instructions.

Meet Olga, a German expat living in Portugal, embracing rural life with her wife Lucie and their two dogs.
António's job interview takes an unexpected turn!
Note: Candidatura espontânea is a term used if someone applies for a job when the company is not even hiring. In this Shorty, it ends up having a double meaning. 🙃
Manuel offers to help his neighbour with some yard work.
This Shorty includes the personal pronoun vós (another pronoun for "you") and conjugation of verbs in that form. We don’t use vós in most of our content, or in the Verbs section, because it has fallen out of use nowadays, except in specific regions and contexts. The more common alternatives you’re probably familiar with are você (singular, formal) and vocês (plural).
Regardless, you could come across vós in books, theatre plays, at church, or if you spend time in the Douro and Beira Interior regions. It's an interesting pronoun because it can be used to address an individual or multiple people.
Mafalda has a pleasant chat with her neighbour.
A talkshow host interviews Joaquim Silveira, a notorious (fictional) Portuguese thief.

Eduardo and Mariana spend the morning planting almond trees in the beautiful Alentejo region.
During summer festivals in the Algarve, many crowds have been captivated by the music of Humberto Silva, Portuguese singer and accordion player. After interviewing the musician, Lena Strang shares his story with us through this Portuguese adaptation of her article.
