═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ THURSDAY - WEEK 3 - SKOOL POST (B2) ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ PHRASE OF THE DAY Se continuar assim, vamos ter problemas com os castanheiros. [seh kohn-tee-NWAR ah-SEEM, VAH-moosh teh proo-BLEH-mush koom oosh kashh-tah-NYAY-roosh] = If it continues like this, we'll have problems with the chestnut trees. ✅ Complex conditional sentences ✅ Consequence thinking (agricultural awareness) ✅ Regional knowledge applied to language ✅ Professional/adult conversation level ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ GRAMMAR BREAKDOWN 1. "SE CONTINUAR" = IF IT CONTINUES (Conditional Clause) Se = if Continuar = continue (infinitive form) The "if" clause uses FUTURE SUBJUNCTIVE in Portuguese: Se continuar = if it continues/should it continue This is NOT "se continu" or "se continua" (those are different tenses). Future subjunctive shows POSSIBILITY, not certainty. Se chover = if it rains Se nevar = if it snows Se melhorar = if it improves 2. "ASSIM" = LIKE THIS (Manner Reference) Assim = in this way/like this/this way It refers to the weather pattern being CONTINUING THE SAME. Se continuar assim = if it keeps going like this (same bad pattern) Outros exemplos: Se ficar assim = if it stays like this Se piorar assim = if it worsens like this 3. "VAMOS TER" = WE WILL HAVE (Future Consequence) Vamos = we are going to (future with "ir") Ter = have Vamos ter problemas = we will have problems This creates the CONSEQUENCE of the condition: IF (condition) → THEN (consequence) Se continuar assim → vamos ter problemas 4. "OS CASTANHEIROS" = THE CHESTNUT TREES (Regional Knowledge) Castanheiro = chestnut tree (Beiras symbol!) Os castanheiros = the chestnut trees (plural) This is NOT random vocabulary. Chestnuts are: - Historical Beiras crop - Economic importance (past + present) - Weather-sensitive - Cultural symbol ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ WEDNESDAY - WEEK 3 - SKOOL POST (B1) ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ PHRASE OF THE DAY O tempo está a mudar muito esta semana. [oo TEM-poo esh-tah uh moo-DAR MOO-ee-too EHSH-tuh suh-MAH-nuh] = The weather is changing a lot this week. ✅ Longer sentences with multiple clauses ✅ Comparing (esta semana vs. semana passada) ✅ Opinions about weather trends ✅ Regional weather knowledge ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ GRAMMAR BREAKDOWN 1. "O TEMPO" = THE WEATHER (Weather as Noun Topic) Instead of simple "está a chover", now we discuss WEATHER itself. O tempo = the weather system/pattern (abstract noun) Compare: A1: Está a chover? = Is it raining? (simple fact) B1: O tempo está a mudar. = The weather is changing. (observation) "O tempo" elevates from description to analysis! 2. "ESTÁ A MUDAR" = IS CHANGING (Continuous Present) Está a + verb = ongoing action happening now/this period Está a mudar = is in the process of changing Está a piorar = is getting worse Está a melhorar = is getting better This describes ACTIVE CHANGE, not static condition. A2: Vai estar quente. = It will be hot (fact) B1: O tempo está a mudar. = Weather is actively changing (process) 3. "MUITO" = VERY / A LOT (Intensity Modifier) Muito intensifies the action: Está a mudar muito = changing a LOT Está muito quente = very hot Mudou muito = changed very much B1 adds intensity words for nuance! 4. "ESTA SEMANA" = THIS WEEK (Time Scope) Establishes WHEN the pattern is happening: Esta semana = this week Este mês = this month Este ano = this year A Beira Alta = in High Beira (region scope) Time + scope = more sophisticated observation! ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ B1 WEATHER VOCABULARY Pattern = Padrão Change = Mudança / Mudar Unstable = Instável Extreme = Extremo Forecast = Previsão Climate = Clima PRACTICAL B1 EXAMPLES

GRAMMAR BREAKDOWN 1. "VAI" = WILL / GOING TO (Future Tense) Vai is the present of ir (to go) used for future. It's the most common way to express near future in Portuguese. Vai estar = will be / is going to be Vai chover = will rain / is going to rain Vai fazer sol = will be sunny / is going to be sunny Structure: VAI + INFINITIVE Vai + estar = Vai estar Vai + chover = Vai chover Vai + fazer = Vai fazer 2. INFINITIVE AFTER VAI The verb stays in infinitive form (base form). No conjugation needed after vai! Eu vou estar = I will be Tu vais estar = You will be Ele/ela vai estar = He/she will be But when asking, you simplify: Vai estar? = Will it be? (general question) 3. TIME EXPRESSIONS (FUTURE) Amanhã = tomorrow Próxima semana = next week No fim de semana = at the weekend Daqui a dois dias = in two days Na próxima quinta = next Thursday These help you plan beyond today! ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ A2 WEATHER + TIME VOCABULARY Tomorrow = Amanhã 📅 Weekend = Fim de semana 🏖️ Next week = Próxima semana 📆 Today = Hoje 📍 Tonight = Esta noite 🌙 PRACTICAL A2 EXAMPLES Vai chover amanhã?
