Welcome back! In this episode, I show you how to ask and answer simple questions about the weather. Also, I talk about the temperature itself here in the south of Brazil in January and compare it to the temperature in other places because Brazil is a country in which the climate varies considerably from region to region.

Welcome back! In this episode, I talk about one of the boldest television "commercials" I have ever seen.

In this episode, I talk about my biggest passion: teaching. Ironically, I had never thought about becoming a teacher when I was younger. It turns out I did become one, and I couldn't be happier about my decision!

In this episode, I break down a very recurrent topic among Brazilians. As you'll see, this "difficulty" mentioned in the title results from a series of factors (including the way English courses advertise their services in Brazil).Transcripts 📝 www.teachyourselfportuguese.comDiscord Community: https://discord.gg/fYFvZZpTjv 🌎Música 🎵 Marcus Manzoni - Passageira
