Episode Description

In this episode, I talk about one of the most common mistakes my students make: confusing the verbs "pedir" and "perguntar" in Portuguese.
They look similar, but their meanings are different — and knowing when to use each one will make your Portuguese sound much more natural!

You'll hear lots of clear examples and get a chance to practice at the end of the episode.


New words:

  • perguntar – to ask (a question)
  • pedir – to ask for (something)
  • empregado – waiter
  • boleia – ride/lift (in a car)
  • imposto – tax
