Invitations in European Portuguese
This is lesson 4 of 5 in Unit 10, Free time & plans (Tempos livres), an A1 unit in which you talk about hobbies and sport, invite friends out and make plans. The new words are combinado (deal), fixe (cool), não posso (I can't) and 5 more, practised in 10 example sentences. By the end you can say things like Hoje eu não posso, estou ocupado (“I can't today, I'm busy”). The unit’s grammar notes cover “Fixe and giro” and “Sport in Portugal”.
