For this fifth podcast I invited two friends: Marina Nédio from Portugal who has been with us since the first podcast and Susana Diniz from Macau.
Olá Marina!
Marina: Olá! Bom dia!
Nalini: Olá Susana!
Susana: Boa tarde Nalini e Marina. Para mim já é boa tarde.
Nalini: Hoje vamos falar sobre provérbios – provérbios que usamos no dia-a-dia. Como sabem os provérbios são frases ou expressões que transmitem conhecimentos comuns sobre a vida. Alguns são muito antigos, mas vão-se reformulando e assumindo novos significados ao longo do tempo.
