| DIALOGUE |
| Mãe: Mas filho, por que você vai sair do império e ficar no Brasil? |
| Dom Pedro: Bem mãe. É porque eu gosto daqui. As pessoas são muito gentis e tem muitas oportunidades por aqui. Mais do que aí em Portugal. |
| Mãe: É verdade filho mas toda a sua família está aqui em Portugal. Quando eu vou te ver? |
| Dom Pedro: Eu acho que você vai ter que me visitar aqui. O pai não vai gostar disso e os caras lá da corte real vão falar de traição. Vai ter consequências sérias se eu voltar para Portugal. |

| Mãe: Mas filho, por que você vai sair do império e ficar no Brasil? |
| Braden: But son, why do you want to leave the empire and stay in Brazil? |
| Dom Pedro: Bem mãe. É porque eu gosto daqui. As pessoas são muito gentis e tem muitas oportunidades por aqui. Mais do que aí em Portugal. |
| Braden: Well, mother, it's because I like it here. The people are very courteous, and there are many opportunities around here. More than there are in Portugal. |
| Mãe: É verdade filho mas toda a sua família está aqui em Portugal. Quando eu vou te ver? |
| Braden: That's true, son, but your entire family is here in Portugal. When will I see you? |
| Dom Pedro: Eu acho que você vai ter que me visitar aqui. O pai não vai gostar disso e os caras lá da corte real vão falar de traição. Vai ter consequências sérias se eu voltar para Portugal. |
| Braden: I think you'll have to visit me here. Father is not going to like this, and those guys in the royal court are going to be talking about treason. There will be serious consequences if I return to Portugal. |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Braden: So, we wanted to talk a little bit about Dom Pedro I. |
| Sandra-: Dom Pedro I was a Portuguese monarch born 1798. He was the air to the throne of Portugal and the entire Portuguese empire. |
| Braden: Due to difficulties in Europe the entire Portuguese royal family had moved to Rio de Janeiro. |
| Sandra-: Once the difficulties had been addressed the royal family returned to Portugal but Dom Pedro stayed behind as the Prince Regent of Brazil. |
| Braden: As time went by and as the political situation in Europe changed, the king of Portugal Dom Pedro's father, decreed that his son should return to Portugal. |
| Sandra-: Dom Pedro refused to do so. On September 7 of 1822 after receiving letters informing him that Portugal was programming military action against Brazil the heir to the throne of Portugal gave the famous Grito do Ipiranga. |
| Braden: (cry of Ipiranga, thus named because he was near the river named Ipiranga) |
| Sandra-: "Independência ou Morte!" (Independence or death!) |
| Braden: Upon returning to Rio de Janeiro on October 12, Dom Pedro was proclaimed Emperor of Brazil and was crowned December 1. |
| Braden: Let's take a look at the vocabulary. |

| Sandra-: but it can also mean “betrayal.” |
| Braden: Could you break this down? |
| Sandra-: (break down) |
| Braden: So what's our next phrase/word? |
| Sandra-: In the dialogue, we heard the phrase por aqui |
| Braden: The literal translation is “for here” |
| Sandra-: But it means “around here.” Or “in this area.” |
| Braden: Could you break this down? |
| Sandra-: (break down) |
| Braden: Let's take a look at the grammar point. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Braden: So Sandra-, what's the focus of this lesson? |
| Sandra-: The focus of this lesson is expressing dislikes using the verb gostar de |
| Braden: Let's review a little bit of what we learned about the verb gostar de. In Portuguese gostar de means "to like." |
| Sandra-: Technically, gostar is the verb and de is a preposition but, as a rule, the preposition de is always connected to the verb gostar, so it's a good idea to think of them as one unit. |
| Braden: For example, |
| Sandra-: Ele gosta de roupa cara. |
| Braden: "He likes expensive clothing." What are going to look at this lesson without express and talk about dislikes. To say that you didn't like something, you insert the word não before the verb gostar de. For example, |
| Sandra-: Ele não gosta de roupa cara. |
| Braden: "He doesn't like expensive clothing." Gostar is a regular -ar verb which means it follows the congregation for regular -ar verbs. |
| Sandra-: We went through the present tense conjugation for the verb gostar in lesson 12 so we won't go over them again here. However, we will look at some sample sentences that express dislikes. |
| Braden: In the dialogue, we heard the phrase |
| Sandra-: O Pai não vai gostar disso e os caras lá do coorte real vão falar de traição. |
| Braden: Which we translated as "Father isn’t going to like this and those guys in the royal court are going to be talking about treason." So with our first example, |
| Sandra-: Ele não gosta de roupa cara. |
| Braden: "He doesn't like expensive clothing." The não is directly negating the verb gostar de. but in the example from the dialogue, the não is negating the verb vai, which in this grammar means “going to.” So, |
| Sandra-: O Pai não vai gostar disso |
| Braden: means "Father is not going to like this." Some other examples would be |
| Sandra-: Eu não gosto de fazer exercícios |
| Braden: "I don't like exercising.” |
| Sandra-: Eles não gostam dos fogos. |
| Braden: "They don't like fireworks.” |
| Sandra-: Lets review this lesson. |
| Braden: The verb gostar de is an essential verb to know if you ever want to express that you liked anything in Portuguese. It's also essential to being able to express your dislikes. |
| Sandra-: And considering how Strange it feels to live in a new country, even the country is wonderful as Brazil, you're probably going to be using this lesson a lot. |
| Braden: Remember, the não always goes directly in front of the verb you want to negate. |
