Marina's new neighbourhood has almost everything within walking distance. These are the places you'll need first — learn each one with its article:

Portuguese	English
a rua	the street
a praça	the square
a esquina	the corner
a padaria	the bakery
a farmácia	the pharmacy
a livraria	the bookshop
o mercado	the supermarket
a praia	the beach
o ponto de ônibus	the bus stop
o centro	the town centre

Say it right: an r at the start of a word sounds like an English h — rua is “HOO-ah” and Rio is “HEE-oo”.
