Sip and Speak: The Art of Complaining in Portuguese | Portuguese and Play

Welcome to SIP AND SPEAK. We point you to the bar, where you can grab a drink to loosen up the nerves, and allow the Portuguese to flow more naturally. Non-alcoholic options are also available. 

What to expect

To make things easier, we structure the event around scenarios to role play. We give you a prompt (e.g. you need to complain to your boss about your coworker's terrible body odour) and you collaborate with another attendee to write a dialogue. You then have the opportunity to present your dialogue to the group, simply reading it or acting it out for dramatic effect! You are welcome to use whatever tools you need to get your dialogue written.

Shy folks, despair not, if you don’t feel comfortable reading your dialogue out loud, our facilitators are at the ready to assist!

We are teaming up with Moma (@momaliciousss) for Sip and Speak to do the roleplay using her epic dolls as conduits for our expression. Moma can also assist with Brazilian pronunciation and grammar. Jo (@frctrx) will also be there to help facilitate the session, focussing on Portuguese pronunciation and grammar.

About Portuguese and Play

Portuguese and Play is the brain and love child of Astrid Lillie, a Portuguese language learner herself. Our goal is to make learning Portuguese more playful and fun, as we believe that this is a way to unlock the virtuous cycle with respect to language learning. We believe in mixed level group classes, acquisition through exposure, diversity and inclusion.
