Portuguese Lesson: Similar Words That Can Get You In Trouble

Blog Post at http://streetsmartbrazil.com/blog/20100114/similar-words-can-get-you-trouble-...

Our YouTube subscriber Martin has asked me to create a video about words that are confusing in Portuguese. He had all the reasons to ask for this video. He wanted to ask his friend if she had cleaned her kitchen. Instead, he asked if she had cleaned her behind. It sure gave me a good laugh, but I understand that things can get pretty embarrassing. So here is a list of words that can save your day.

This is just fantastic! I'm moving to Salvador Bahia this summer to teach at an Int'l school, and while I know a fair amount of Spanish, it only helps occasionally with Brazilian Portuguese. Your Streetsmart videos are tremendous help!
