September 5, 2016

What’s up, my friends! Today we are going to know more about the expression lanche and its definition in Portuguese. In addition, we will discover how to pronounce lanche, lanchar and lanchonete in Portuguese.

So to start our student Josh will help us in this Dica on the video below. Check this out:

Lanche in Portuguese Explanation

Hi guys! My name’s Josh and I’m a student at Rio & Learn. Well, today we have a delicious Dica for you. Do you know the word Lanche? Well, today we’ll learn the meaning of lanche in Portuguese.

Lanche is a very popular snack in Brazil. It’ can be baked, fried or even a sandwich. It’s the snack that we eat between main meals. Imagine you’re at work and you’re hungry but not quite ready for a proper meal. Well, a Lanche is the perfect solution!

There are many different types of Lanche in Brazil. You can learn about them on our Dicas about different kinds of snacks and street food in Brazil. We also use the verb Lanchar in Portuguese, which means to eat a Lanche.

The Brazilian Lanchonete

In Brazil, when we go out for a lanche, we can say “hey, guys, let’s eat at a lanchonete!”. But do you know what a lanchonete is? The simple answer is that the lanchonete is the place where we go for a lanche, the place where you can try the best Brazilian salgados (our snacks 😉 ). You can check out this other Dica about the lanchonete! Enjoy it!

There are so many lanchonetes in Brazil, they are on almost every street and every corner (even at bus stations, gas stations and in the subway!). Most of the time Brazilians are in a hurry, therefore this is the best place to eat if you think you’re going to be late but you don’t want to go to your appointment hungry. Oh, and we also eat at a lanchonete when we leave a party, for a late night snack, or even before going to it. Well, eating is important, isn’t it?

Lanche, lanchar and lanchonete pronunciations can be a little difficult for some speakers, so we’ve made an audio for you. Let’s check it out!

É um dos mais populares lanches no Brasil. É feita de carne de frango, coberta em massa e frita. Sua forma lembra a de uma coxa de galinha, por isso a chamamos de coxinha de frango.
Se você está com muita fome, você pode comer esse lanche porque é delicioso e sua massa realmente te alimenta. Feito com queijo e presunto é feito de massa e recheado.
É um lanche muito famoso também. Nós geralmente comemos em feiras e bebemos caldo de cana com ele, é a combinação perfeita!
É uma comida árabe que é muito famosa no Brasil. Você pode comê-lo como um salgado com fazer como um bolo. Este salgado é feito de bulgur, cebolas picadas, carne e temperos do Oriente Médio.

Had an incident with a holiday. I selected Monday and Wednesday for my classes, since I can’t attend classes on other days. Due to holiday one of the lessons was scheduled on Friday. I warned about this issue on Tuesday, 3 days before the lesson, but manager answered in a rude way that they can’t do anything and blamed me that this is my fault I didn’t warn earlier. Teacher is asking their students to give good grades to the course on a second lesson. This is not teachers fault. Probably managers ask her to do this. Maybe my grade will change. Only time will show. At the moment as is.

Estudar portugués online com a escola Río & learn é muito gratificante pra mim, pois as professoras são amorosas. As aulas são engraçadas, com muita prática falando português brasileiro. Também eu posso conhecer pessoas de outros países e outras culturas. Eu sinto que moro no Brasil quando eu estou em aula!!

I took a one week in-person course and had an amazing experience. It was intensive and definitely highly recommended! I appreciate the great, caring and highly professional team : Diogo for your awesome and energetic lectures and dedication. The lessons outside the classroom were very engaging and a useful way to immerse into local life. Thanks Laise, Marta and Dayane for the great support and smooth coordination. I look forward to taking the online sessions next!

I joined the online classes 1 month ago and I am loving the experience. Shout-out to Professora's Dani & Nathalia,they're amazing! The classes are interesting,focused and the teachers are very patient. They also do extra online activities outside the class schedule to really boost your learning in a fun, engaging environment. My speaking proficiency is improving faster than ever before compared to other classes I tried with other schools. The staff are very organised, communicate well and I think the cost is excellant value for money. Vamos lá!

Followed one week of group classes in Rio de Janeiro, I had no prior experience with Portuguese. The classes were really good, fun even (we laughed a lot) and the material is very well chosen. The after activities (Rio Live) as well were so fun and the teachers (Diogo) always made you feel comfortable and had a lot of patience. We even went for lunch together to learn about this subject. I really loved this way of teaching. I feel like I have a good base of the language and I can understand so much more now.

I have taken online courses twice now with Rio & Learn. In both group and private lessons the instruction was excellent. Classes were well-planned and the instructors were responsive and engaging. If I ever have the chance I will definitely sign up for their in person classes.

Ich war vor 4 Jahren dort und habe dort die Basics in Portugiesisch gelernt. Sehr praxisnaher Unterricht mit vielen Aktivitäten und Spaß. Mir gefällt dieser spielerische Ansatz sehr und ich konnte einiges lernen. Absolute Empfehlung!

This is the best language school ever. I spent one month, started with no portguese whatsoever, and now I can hold basic conversations and understand most of what people are saying. My progress was pretty amazing thanks to all the teachers who are AMAZING. I can't stress enough how nice, helpful and fun they are. In addition to classes in the mornings, the school offers different kinds of activities every afternoon outside the school. It's great to practice portuguese outside and also discover some great places in Rio as well as many different kind of fun activities. I made great friends there and had so many good laughs. Often the teachers also take you out of the classroom for the entire class or half of it to make it more entertaining. I truly recommend this school that was way more than a school for me. Thanks to everyone there, especially Diogo, Lais and Guliana for everything.

Rio & Learn is a great space to learn Portuguese. The amazing teachers and support staff create a wonderful and intimate environment to learn, through a varied set of mediums: class lectures, out and about lesson around copacabana, post-school activities as well as a range of 121 teaching options. I highly recommend this school!!!
