Don't forget to stop by PortuguesePod101.com for more great Portuguese Language Learning Resources! -------Lesson Dialog------- ----Formal ---- Encontro das águas No meio da maior floresta tropical do planeta, a floresta amazônica, esconde-se uma outra dádiva da natureza: o rio Amazonas, que chega a alcançar 50 quilômetros de largura nas épocas de chuva. Um dos lugares mais bonitos e visitados do rio é exatamente no ponto onde ele começa. O Amazonas surge quando o rio Negro se encontra com o rio Solimões, no chamado encontro das águas, perto da cidade de Manaus, capital do estado do Amazonas. Durante mais de nove quilômetros, as águas dos dois rios correm lado a lado sem se misturar, uma parte com as águas negras do rio Negro e outra com água amarela e barrenta do Solimões, até finalmente se misturarem e tomarem uma nova identidade: o lendário e fenomenal rio Amazonas. Esse fenômeno incomum ocorre devido à diferença de temperatura e densidade entre os rios. O rio Negro possui coloração mais escura porque nele acontece a decomposição de folhas e matéria orgânicas, além de ser mais calmo que o rio Solimões, que, devido à maior velocidade da correnteza, possui águas barrentas. Para chegar no encontro das águas, atualmente existem muitos pacotes turísticos com guias treinados para receber ao público. Os barcos geralmente saem do Parque ecológico do Janauary, localizado no rio Negro, um parque com nove mil hectares e que concentra vários ecossistemas da região. Durante a viagem normalmente come-se em um restaurante flutuante, com pratos à base de peixe da cultura regional. Nessa região é possível ver diversos animais, entre eles o boto-cinza e o boto-cor-de-rosa, animais pré-históricos que são ancentrais vivos dos atuais golfinhos. Além de animais, a flora típica amazonense está presente também, como a exótica vitória-régia, com uma folha que pode chegar até dois metros e meio de diâmetro e sua flor branca, que abre somente à noite. Tanto o boto-cor-de-rosa quanto a vitória-régia são protagonistas de lendas indígenas da Amazônia. ----Formal English---- Meeting of the Waters In the middle of the planet, the largest rainforest, the Amazon forest, hides another gift of nature: the Amazon River, which can reach fifty kilometers wide during the rainy season. One of the most beautiful and most visited places of the river is exactly the point where it begins. Amazonas arises when the Negro River ("Dark River") meets the Solimoes River (called "the meeting of the waters") close to the city of Manaus, capital of Amazonas state. For more than nine kilometers, the waters of the two rivers run side by side without mixing, a part with the black waters of the Negro River and the other with yellow and muddy water of the Solimoes, until finally they mingle and take a new identity: the legendary and phenomenal Amazon River. This unusual phenomenon is due to the difference of temperature and density between the rivers. The Negro River has a darker color because decomposition of leaves and organic matter happens in it, and it is quieter than the Solimoes River, which due to higher velocity, has muddy waters. To arrive at the meeting of the waters, currently there are many tour packages with guides trained to receive the public. The boats usually leave from the January Ecological Park, located in Negro River, a park with nine thousand hectares and concentrating various ecosystems of the region. During the trip, usually tourists eat on a floating restaurant with dishes based on fish of the regional culture. In this region, you can see many animals, including the boto cinza and boto cor de rosa (prehistoric animals that are living ancestors of today's dolphins). Besides animals, the typical Amazonian fl [...]

A lição de hoje é sobre o tempo dos verbos e a conjugação verbal. Silvana, você pode ler o que está escrito no dicionário? Silvana: Sim, claro! O tempo é - a forma do verbo que indica se a ação se deu no passado, se se passa no presente ou se se produzirá no futuro. Professora: Você poderia explicar isso para nós? Silvana: Claro. Em outros termos, quando falamos sobre o tempo verbal, estamos falando ou do passado ou do presente ou do futuro. Professora: E especificamente sobre as ações desses verbos no passado, presente, ou futuro. E como identificamos em qual tempo verbal o verbo está? Silvana: Pela terminação do verbo. Cada verbo tem terminações específicas que indicam o passado, presente, ou o futuro. Professora: Exatamente. Então, qual é o tempo do verbo "coubéramos"? Silvana: Sei lá. Que conjugação esquisita. ----Formal English---- Professora: Good morning class. Today's lesson is about verb tense and verbal conjugation. Silvana, could you read what is written in the dictionary? Silvana: Yes, of course. Tense is the form of the verb that indicates if the action took place in the past, if it is happening in the present, or if it will be produced in the future. Professora: Could you explain this to us? Silvana: Sure. In other words, when we speak about verb tense, we are either talking about the past, the present, or the future. Professora: And specifically about the actions of the verbs in the past, present, or future. And how do we identify which tense the verb is in? Silvana: By the verb ending. Each and every verb has specific endings that indicate past, present, or future. Professora: Exactly. So, what is the verb tense of the verb "coubéramos"? Silvana: I don't know. What a strange conjugation. --------------------------- Learn Portuguese with PortuguesePod101! Don't forget to stop by PortuguesePod101.com for more great Portuguese Language Learning Resources!
