Before you read
In this lesson you'll follow Luana through a whole day. You already have most of what you need — reflexive verbs, the time, the parts of the day. A few new words first:
| Portuguese | English |
|---|---|
| acordar | to wake up |
| preparar | to make, to prepare (coffee, a meal) |
| ir a pé — ela vai a pé | to walk, go on foot — she walks |
| o trabalho | work |
| almoçar | to have lunch |
| fazer um lanche — ela faz um lanche | to have a snack — she has a snack |
| voltar para casa | to go back home |
| sentar-se | to sit down |
| ler — ela lê | to read — she reads |
| preparar-se para | to get ready for |
Sentar-se and preparar-se work exactly like levantar-se: ela se senta, ela se prepara. Notice the pair preparar / preparar-se: she prepara um café (makes a coffee), but se prepara para dormir (gets herself ready for bed).
