Today, yesterday and tomorrow

Today, Yesterday and Tomorrow in Portuguese. Dias da semana. To talk about the days of a week we use: Anteontem, ontem, hoje, amanhã and depois de amanhã.

Furthermore, can you locate yourself and talk about things that have happened or will happen during the week? What you did yesterday and what are you planning to do the day after tomorrow? Now that you are familiar with the words, let’s read a text with the Portuguese adverbs of time.

Text with Portuguese Adverbs of Time

Olá, meu nome é Mary e sou dos Estados Unidos. Cheguei no Rio de Janeiro anteontem, às 2:00 da tarde. Quando cheguei, peguei um táxi e fui para o apartamento do meu amigo, Roberto. Ontem, fomos à escola de Português Rio & Learn porque eu queria aprender português em 30 dias. Hoje é minha primeira aula e estou muito animada para aprender coisas novas. A escola oferece as Atividades RioLIVE!, que parecem ser muito interessantes para praticar Português fora da escola com os outros estudantes e também com algumas pessoas na rua. Amanhã, vamos fazer uma atividade muito legal: vamos conhecer o centro da cidade e, depois de amanhã, vamos praticar alguns vocabulários na praia e beber Caipirinha. Mês que vem eu vou voltar para os Estados Unidos e tenho certeza que vou sentir falta do Rio.

Translation of the text: Portuguese adverbs of time

Hi, my name is Mary and I am from the United States. I arrived in Rio de Janeiro the day before yesterday, at 2:00 in the afternoon. When I arrived, I took a taxi and went to my friend Roberto’s apartment. Yesterday, we went to the Portuguese language school Rio & Learn because I wanted to learn Portuguese in 30 days. Today is my first class and I’m very excited to learn new things. The school offers the RioLIVE! Activities, that seem to be very interesting for practicing Portuguese out of the school while with the other students, as well as different people on the street. Tomorrow, we will do a very cool activity: we will visit the city center and the day after tomorrow, we will practice some vocabulary at the beach and drink a caipirinha. Next month i’ll be going back to the United States and I’m sure I’ll miss Rio.

Notice that we conjugate the verbs in Portuguese according to the Portuguese adverbs of time! They mark the time of the sentences, hence the conjugation of the verbs.

Plain sailing?

We have just learned the Portuguese Adverbs of Time. Applying what you’ve just learned, can you plan your month using these adverbs?

I have been taking online group classes here for about a month. The entire class is in Portuguese so you learn super fast. The class sizes are small and after each class the teacher evaluates you, so you learn at your own pace. All the teachers I've had are super enthusiastic and encouraging. You're also put in a WhatsApp group to practice and there are extra online activities which are super fun. I both laugh and learn a ton in my classes. I highly recommend this school and I hope someday in the future I can visit in person!

I had a lovely time with the teachers and my fellow students during the classes and the activities the school provided. They push you to speak as much Portuguese as possible during and outside the classes. This made it possible for me to start smal conversation after one week!!! Thank you very much for all the fun and teachable moments! “Eu gosto Rio and Learn!”

Rio & Learn is a one stop shop for learning Portuguese while enjoying the amazing Carioca lifestyle. The teachers and the staffs are very accommodating and they always encourage you to speak and immerse in the language. The immersion classes would take you on amazing journeys to local historic spots of the city while keeping you extra fit. Highly recommend!!!

E ai pessoal! Rio & Learn fue una experiencia maravillosa. En la escuela tuve clases muy interesante que mezclan temas gramaticales con conversación de una forma muy bien planificada. Adicionalmente, las actividades programadas por la escuela en la tarde y los fines de semana son muy divertidas y son una extensión de las clases por lo que se puede continuar practicando portugués en un escenario más pragmático. Complementario a esto, los profesores son muy buenos y tienen mucho ánimo y disposición para enseñar, preocupándose de que el estudiante aprenda ya sea en un entorno individual o grupal; debido a que el profesor que dicta la clase cambia con cierta frecuencia uno tiene la posibilidad de desarrollar más la habilidad de escucha con los diferentes acentos y dinámicas de cada uno. Finalmente, como solo traveler es el lugar ideal para hacer amigos en clase y pasar un buen rato con las actividades de RioLive mientras conoces Rio y practicas el idioma objetivo así que es una excelente combinación. Recomiendo completamente, amé mi experiencia, cree amistades para toda la vida y mejoré mi portugués tal como quería, superó mis expectativas con creces.

I highly recommend Rio and Learn, especially as a solo-traveler. You will make so many friends from the classes and have a lot of support from teachers as well. The group classes are quite great and allow you to maximize your time in the city. I love how you spend the first half of the day focusing on grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary and then afterwards you actually apply it while visiting some of the coolest places in Rio.
