Professional tip
. In Unit 4 you saw that when one word ends with a consonant and the next word begins with a vowel, the consonant seems to jump into the next word: Sit_up_and_appear_interested. Some students find it difficult to hear links. Writing it on the board like this: Si tu pan dappea rinterested, can help.
. When two vowel sounds meet at the end and beginning of words, we sometimes add an extra sound to separate vowel sounds, either /j/, /w/ or /r/. Do you know any rules for when we say each sound? (See the Key for some rules).

. We normally use Can/Could I/you .? for requests, Do you mind if I .? and May I .? are more polite/formal.
. If you want students to speak less Portuguese in class, give a list of phrases like these to your students. Encourage them to memorise the phrases for homework and then insist they say them in English in class. Don't forget to teach the answers too!
