Step 3 — Language Focus

📖 Vocabulário do aeroporto

This episode is packed with essential airport vocabulary you'll need for real travel in Brazil.

Portuguese	English	Notes
destino	destination	com destino a = heading to
voo	flight	voo 783 = flight 783
embarque	boarding	embarque imediato = immediate boarding
portão	gate	portão 25 = gate 25

📖 Imperativo negativo — Não se preocupe

B reassures Claudio: "Não se preocupe" — the negative imperative with reflexive verbs like preocupar-se keeps the reflexive pronoun before the verb (unlike the affirmative imperative).

Affirmative	Negative	English
Preocupe-se!	Não se preocupe!	Don't worry!
Apresse-se!	Não se apresse!	Don't rush!
ainda tem tempo	there's still time	Frase tranquilizadora comum.
