Hi,
(1) I see you are using American English here in referring to ‘pants’. In England, pants generally signify underwear! Usually, in England, people would say ‘trousers’. In my own country of birth (Ireland), we use pants and trousers interchangeably and use ‘underpants’ to make the distinction.
(2) ‘Camisolas’ is used above to refer to ‘sweaters’ on one line but ‘shirts’ on another.
(1) Indeed, our translations often go the AE way, with pants, sweaters, etc. We do hope to become more inclusive in the future! I’m sorry if it’s a distraction.
(2) Thank you, good catch 🙂
I really enjoy this program.
I noticed that at 34 seconds the translation indicates shirts instead of sweaters.
Thank you for all the effort that goes into making this program.

Thank you for your message and for catching that translation error! 🙂
hello, i’ve noticed i can’t manage to download the transcription of shorties- those that are relatively new- I can hear the sound but there’s nothing under transcription or vocabulary. This seems a recurrent bug or has anybody else ever noticed that? Thank you for your response
O que e’ que bom tu com. Fax favor
Bom dia Alan, não percebi a tua pergunta! Podes explicar? 🙂
a Llicao commeca sempre com as palaveras ” Bon tu com” , talvez algumas coisas differences? Obrigado.
Ah, já entendi! A lição começa com o URL do website: PracticePortuguese.com = “Practice Portuguese Ponto Com” 🙂
It appears the ‘g’ is dropped off ganha in pronunciation. Is this normal?
Olá Dawn!
No, the “g” isn’t dropped off. He’s just pronouncing it a bit too quick maybe. If you listen carefully and loud enough you’ll spot that shy little “g” on the word ganga. 😊
Cheers,
Luís
I am so thankful I saw this Q&A today! I had also heard it as “bom tu com” but knew that couldn’t possibly be right. I have always enjoyed the little guitar riff and hearing Joel’s voice followed by Rui’s, but now I will enjoy it much more knowing what the heck they are saying. LOVE this app & site. Thanks so much to Joel, Rui, Joseph and all others on the team. I’m learning so much and having lots of fun!!
Untill now I think I’ve always seen/learned the word calças in the plural form. In this shortie in the spoken and transcript version as well. However in the quiz I see the word calça both standing on its own ” tipo de calça” and as “calça de ganga”.
Is there an explanation for this?
Good question! Both forms, ‘calça’ and ‘calças’, are acceptable and interchangeable in Portuguese. The plural is indeed the most used option in Portugal (and for some, it should always be preferred), but we do use the singular too here and there.
