                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[So here’s the scenario: Denise has been walking in the park with her dog named Sandy. Michelle, who happens to pass by, loves dogs and decides to strike up a conversation with Denise. Well, she doesn’t exactly love dogs, but Sandy reminds her of her brother’s dog. Anyway, the two have a nice chat in the park, which makes for a great Conversa Brasileira.

Let's see if we've got this right. Simone has 4 dogs and 8 cats at home and all of them are strays that she found on the street! She loves animials and it seems only natural that she would want to sit and chat with Sandra who is out in the park with her dog named Belinha. And we get to hear their conversa brasileira.

As Gilberto Gil sings, “O Rio de Janeiro continua lindo.” And that is the topic of discussion for Denise and Valentino as they chat at the breakfast table. The newspaper has an article on the violence in Rio, but Denise and Valentino just aren’t buying it. Nowadays São Paulo seems to have its share too. So our two Paulistas come to the defense of Rio de Janeiro. And São Paulo doesn’t have Corcovado, Pão de Açúcar, or Maracanã. It all makes for a nice Conversa Brasileira.

Almost nobody loves his hometown more than Valdo loves Bahia. You can be sure that his invitation to take in the sights, hear the music, try some moqueca, and head out to Chapada Diamantina is real. Denise would love to go and it makes for a fun exchange in this Conversa Brasileira.

It's a good thing that Michelle has such a great attitude, because taking care of a new baby can be a lot of work. But for Michelle, 'Anne is my new hobby.' Simone, typical of almost any woman who has had a child, starts asking about what Anne is up to. The result is a truly delightful Conversa Brasileira.

Now there’s an interesting hobby. Denise has been collecting musical instruments. And why not? Brazil has really cool instruments like her cavaquinho, her ganzá, and her pandeiro. So when Michelle was traveling recently, and knowing about Denise’s collection, she was nice enough to buy Denise a triângulo to add to her collection. As they talk about it we see a nice example of a Conversa Brasileira.

Michelle’s cousin, poor thing, just can’t hold on to her boyfriends. And the “shoulder to cry on” ends up being Michelle’s. It’s wears you out, so now Michelle needs to cry on Valdo’s shoulder for a bit too. Of course we are sad that Michelle’s cousin is having such a hard time with her boyfriend, but we do like how it ends up being a great Conversa Brasileira.

Oh my, Eloísa is breaking up with another boyfriend. And even worse, once again she wants Ingrid’s advice about what to do. Ingrid doesn’t really need Alexandre’s opinion per se, but it’s nice to have a friend who can at least lend a sympathetic ear. And even better, it makes for a really interesting Conversa Brasileira.

Our apologies to everyone who listens to this lesson. First off, if you have eaten these foods, it is killing you to hear about them without being able to eat them. Second of all, if you haven’t eaten these foods, you just won’t relate to what the fuss is all about. No wonder Brazilians use the phrase matar as saudades “to kill your homesickness” to talk about the powerful feeling that comes over you when you miss foods from another culture. No doubt, this makes for an impressive Conversa Brasileira.

This dialog deals with one of those invitations that we all dream of getting. Valdo and Denise have invited some of their North American friends to come over for a Brazilian churrasco. However, before the picanha main course (one of the prime cuts of a top sirloin), Valdo and Denise will be starting off with lots of appetizers like kibes and pão de queijo. Talking about food while sipping on a caipirinha or a super cold guaraná certainly sets the stage for a great Conversa Brasileira.

Andréia and Leandro have been working out for quite some time, and guess who finally shows up at the gym? That’s right, Antônio. Sounds like he’s going to take another crack at getting into shape. Andréia and Leandro aren’t very sure he’ll stick it out, but the rest of us are cheering for Antônio to get back into the routine. The three of them talk up a storm and it’s a pretty nice Conversa Brasileira.

Well, it looks like Denise is getting a good start at her new workouts in the gym. Valentino and Silvia know what they are doing and they’ve been at it for a while by now. Start slow, work your way up, and alternate between upper body and lower body. She should make it, and it also makes for an interesting Conversa Brasileira.

Sílvia calls the wedding that Andréia went to a “casamento de grã-fino”, which is a perfect way of saying that it was a big, fancy wedding. There’s no denying it, wedding traditions differ from one country to another. Just imagine what might happen when an American marries a Brazilian! So, bring Silvia and Andréia together and watch them talk about weddings. No doubt, we have the makings of a pretty amazing Conversa Brasileira.

So what's more nerve-wracking than preparing for a wedding? How about preparing for a wedding between an American and a Brazilian! You never really realize how many things are traditional about weddings until you start planning for one that involves people from different cultures. From the gift registry to the ring bearers, Denise and Fernanda get to compare notes on how the preparation is going. Opps, Denise has forgotten all about the invitations, but until that point we were part of a very interesting Conversa Brasileira.

Some of our greatest childhood memories are often those of interactions with grandparents: playing cards, fishing, hanging out in the tool shed, hearing stories, etc. Talk about different worlds! This dialog compares grandpa’s games with tops, kites, and marbles to Alice’s Polly Pocket computer games. “You just google it, grandpa.” The games and topics may be different, but what stays the same is the great feeling that comes when grandparents chat away with grandchildren. In this case, Ivo and Alice’s chat is a perfect example of another Conversa Brasileira.

Ruth’s recipe has to be in one of the cookbooks somewhere, right? Well, maybe so, but wouldn’t it just be easier to search for it online? At least that’s what Débora thinks. And, chances are that most any teenager will find things faster online than their grandma possibly could in the book anyway. Bingo, Débora found the recipe on line and grandma knows how to make it. A perfect combination, and not a bad Conversa Brasileira either.

We’ve all seen this scene hundreds of times. Moms take their children to play in the park. While doing so, the moms sit and chat on the park bench. With one eye on the children and the other on their friends, moms swap stories, examples, and keep each other up on the latest of what’s going on. Today we find out that Gabriel wants to be Spider-Man and Dandara has been going to the corner store to buy chocolate on credit, a delightful Conversa Brasileira.

Even when little kids don’t know each other well, they seem to do just fine playing at the playscape in the park. As Isabela observes, Estão se dando super bem “They are getting along really well.” Now it is true that sometimes they fall and need stitches and other times they catch colds from others around them, but today’s a nice day, the kids are having fun, and the beautiful weather gives the moms a perfect excuse to sit on the park bench and have a nice Conversa Brasileira.

Put yourself in the situation of a high school study abroad student. First of all, chances are that this is your first experience living abroad. And everything is new: teachers, homework, computers, lunchrooms, clothes, and schedules. Wow, what a transition! In this dialog Andréia is about to pick up her niece, Kauane, who is currently in the U.S., attending an American high school. Life has been different for her, and it makes for a cool Conversa Brasileira.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Our hats go off to Alexandre. It's a brave man who walks into a jewelry store to buy something special for his wife for Valentine's Day. You've got the choice of necklaces, earrings, or bracelets on one end and leather, silver, gold, or precious stones on the other end. Fortunately for Alexandre, and for all of the rest of us too, Ana knows what the ladies like. She'll even wrap it up to make the gift box look nice. So with a simple, "Capricha lá" Alexandre and Ana finish up the jewelry purchase Conversa Brasileira.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[We've all been in the same situation as Alexandre, 'Acabei de chegar. Tô perdido.' (I just arrived. I am lost). Fortunately for Alexandre, Lucas is not only willing to help him out, Lucas will even take him to the place he needs to go. And whay not? We all sympathize with others because we know what if feels like to be in a new place and to be a bit disoriented too. No doubt Alexandre made it to his orientation meeting, and along the way he had a great Conversa Brasileira.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[In real life Simone and Thiago are married, so when we recorded this lesson we had a good time teasing Thiago about his willingness to offer to show Simone how to get to the library. "It's not exactly on my way, but from there I can show you and then I'll go to the Chemistry Department," he said. Thiago's a smart Guy. What better way is there to get to know the cute new arrival than to offer to accompany her to find the library! Not only that, the exchange shows us how Brazilians help others when they are lost and it's a fine example of a Conversa Brasileira.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[OK, so we all know how frustrating traffic can be. Alexandre and Denise were doing a good job of hanging in there, but then Alexandre made the mistake of saying that part of the problem was because Denise wasn't getting up early enough to get the kids ready, and to get herself ready too. Oh Alexandre, why did you have to say that it only takes five minutes for you to get dressed and get out the door? Oh well, we all say things that we regret when we're frustrated with traffic. In this case we just happen to hear all of this as part of a Conversa Brasileira.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Poor Simone, in 40 minutes she has an interview, but the traffic in Belo Horizonte has got her stuck going nowhere. In all of the complaining, it is kind of late for, "I told you we should have taken Getulio Vargas Avenue!" To make matters worst, some obnoxious guy behind them keeps honking his horn. We certainly feel sorry for Simon, but Thiago is doing his best to help her calm down. In the meantime, we get to hear a great exchange of their intense Conversa Brasileira.

Turns out that Carlos is arriving late at work again, meaning that he's probably drinking again. Even worse, if he's running around with other women, you aren't going to get any sympathy from the women in this office. No wonder they call him 'safado', a real dirt bag, derogatory for sure, but it also makes for a great conversa brasileira!

Even worse, the rumor is that the new guy is way too young and they say he doesn't even have a valid diploma from the university. No wonder the gossip is flying around the office at light speed everywhere! Of course we are not condoning the gossip, but we have to confess that we love what it shows us about a great conversa brasileira!

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[We hate to lose, especially when we're ahead for a while and then lose it in the end, just hate that! And it doesn't help when the referee totally ignores the obvious fouls. And the next thing you know people are blaming each other too. It just goes from bad to worse. And that gremista guy was totally grabbing on to people's shirts and pulling them down. If any of this sounds familiar, welcome to the world of competitive sports. We can all relate. But, just like Heloísa, Alexandre, and Lucas, everyone's got to buckle down and get ready for next week's game too. They've still got a chance, as long as Zeca doesn't play goalie any more. Bad luck on the field, but a good chance to hear a new Conversa Brasileira.

Looks like Guilherme and Lucas' team is now 5-0, even if the other team did complain that the ref should have called Lucas offsides when he scored the winning goal. Too bad, so sad. Let the other team go home to cry, Lucas, and friends are heading over to Guilherme's house where their gaúcho friend is going to break out the churrasco, which obviously will lead to more sports talk and even better conversa brasileira.

Of course, one of the big decisions is to decide if everyone is singing in the right key. You've got to make it low enough for André and high enough for Antônio. After that, the group's got to decide on how to transition from one song to the next. It's a lot of details to work out, but by the sound of things, not only are they making awesome music, they are also coming out with a pretty cool example of a Conversa Brasileira.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Here we are, revealing all of our behind-the-scenes secrets about Conversa Brasileira. In this clip you'll see the recording session we made while creating the pop-up comments that accompany, Gossip 1: Ói, que safado! Whenever we get together to discuss the various lessons, in the end we have our own little chit chat about what to say, what to comment on, and how to say it. The team is comprised of Denise and Valentino from the Brazilian side and Orlando and Daniel from the American side. So, take a peek at our world and join in on our Conversa Brasileira.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[This is our second behind-the-scenes video of one of our pop-up recording sessions. This clip was also made while we were recording the comments section of the Gossip 1 lesson. First off, you'll see that we catch Orlando singing. (He seems to do that quite a bit, he's just a happy guy.) The recording sessions are always filled with tons of chit-chat, observations about what to say in the recordings, and language analysis to help decide what focus to take for the pop-up. Truth told, grammar and language shouldn't be this fun, but Denise, Valentino, Orlando, and Daniel look forward to it each and every week, and in the end they are all part of a pretty cool Conversa Brasileira.
