In this lesson, youâre going to learn how to recognize certain patterns that will help you identify the meaning of words and also easily translate terms from English to Portuguese, and vice versa.

Today youâre going to learn Portuguese in a super fun way! Letâs see if you can understand âpiadasâ (jokes) in Brazilian Portuguese.
Understanding jokes in a foreign language is one of the hardest things because you need to understand vocabulary, nuance, cultural references, and wordplay or puns. But donât worry! I selected simple jokes for our lesson today. These are jokes that would be considered âdad jokes.â In Brazil, we say theyâre âpiadas de tioâ (uncle jokes). I chose seven jokes for this lesson. These jokes only make sense in Portuguese. If you translate them into another language, they probably wonât make any sense at all. Iâm going to start with the easiest ones and leave the hardest ones for the end. If you understand the last joke, that means your Portuguese is excellent! Maybe youâre Brazilian and donât even know it!
Will you find these jokes funny? Letâs see!
Give this episode a listen to have some fun with me telling these jokes! Iâm really bad at telling jokes, but I had a lot of fun recording this video. I hope it makes you smile. đ
