How To Talk About The Home In Portuguese
The home is often the central organizing hub of the family, and of life in general. If you’re studying Portuguese, traveling to a Portuguese-speaking country, or planning a visit to the home of your Brazilian in-laws, it won’t hurt to learn some basic Portuguese house vocabulary.
Truthfully, you’ll likely encounter this scenario much sooner than you think. Social life in Portugal and Brazil is often organized around family, and you might just get invited over. When that happens, you’ll be prepared when someone tells you to meet the squad in the living room for an after-dinner toast.
