Brazil and Portugal

Brazilian and European Portuguese sound different and use different words: a bus is an ônibus in São Paulo and an autocarro in Lisbon, and a train is a trem or a comboio. Brazilians mostly say você where Portuguese speakers often say tu. There is one Portuguese option for both.

Brazilian speech is full of fillers and slang such as "tipo", "cara" and "beleza". The English gives their meaning in context rather than a word-for-word version, so read lines where slang carries the point.

Reais, commas and dates

Prices in Brazil are written like R$ 49,90, with a comma before the cents, and dates are day first, so 03/04 is the 3rd of April. Those are the details to check when a workout plan, a price or a schedule moves into English.

In a podcast with guests, set the speaker names in the Portuguese transcript first; the English download can carry them, which keeps a long conversation easy to follow.
