Portuguese · Business meeting
Speak Portuguese for your business meeting — before it happens.
In a São Paulo or Lisbon conference room, dropping into "tu" mid-meeting flips a cordial Você into a familiar register your Brazilian counterpart will read as overly friendly and your Portuguese counterpart will read as forward. Você stays Você until you are explicitly invited to change — and your counterpart's calendar may not formally invite you.
Press play to start. Each turn unlocks roughly 8–18 seconds in.

What you'll practice
- Open with Bom dia + agenda in one sentence — "Vamos começar pelo projeto X"
- Status updates with concluímos (finished) vs. estamos finalizando (still in progress)
- Disagree with concordo, mas + softer alternative — "concordo com a maior parte, mas talvez…"
- Close with concrete owners — "Fulano fica responsável por … até sexta-feira" attached to a date
