Slice of Life 37: Brunch

Everyone likes a nice brunch. It’s the weekend and we can get up late. Forget the morning rush and all the worries about school or work. It’s time to slow down and savor a yummy meal in the company of friends and/or family. Next thing you know, it’s dinner time!DialogueA: Gente, ninguém come nada até eu terminar aqui. Quero todo mundo com fome na hora do brunch*. B: Ah, mas eu tô com fome agora. Posso comer essa panqueca aqui da pilha? A: Não! Também tô fazendo mais um montão de comida. Não quero que você se encha de panqueca sem ver todo o resto. B: Tá... o que mais você tá fazendo? A: Rabanada, ovo poché e waffle. E também vai ter frutas de acompanhamento. B: Nossa, é comida demais! Vou pegar só essa panqueca e já vou. Tchaauu. A: Peraí, peraí! Não foge não! Pelo menos me ajuda com as bebidas. B: Um suco de laranja espremido na hora ia cair bem!A: Hey! Nobody eat anything until I am done cooking. I want everyone to be hungry in time for brunch. B: Mmm… but I’m hungry now. Can I eat this pancake off the stack? A: No! I am making a bunch of other food too. I don’t want you to fill up on pancakes without seeing all the other options. B: Okay… what else are you making? A: French toast, poached eggs, and waffles. There will also be a side of fresh berries. B: Oh, that’s way too much food. I’ll just take this pancake and go. Byeeeee. A: Wait, wait, wait! Don’t go yet! At least help me prepare the drinks. B: Some freshly-squeezed OJ would go great with this.

In Brazil, the term língua da gente (literally 'language of the people') refers to the way that people actually talk in everyday speech. And that, in essence, is the object behind this series. We hope to provide practical lessons that demonstrate how people really speak, and we do this by presenting brief, slice-of-life dialogs, which focus on some daily situation, scenario, or task that we encounter every day.
