A Arte de Meter o Louco - The Brazilian Art of Playing Dumb.
Have you ever heard a Brazilian say “meter o louco”, “dar um migué” or “tacar o foda-se”?
In today's episode of Brazilian Break, we're talking about the art of pretending you have no idea what's going on, making excuses, losing your patience and sometimes just not giving a fuck.
We'll teach you some very Brazilian expressions that you probably won't find in your Portuguese textbook.
And yes, there's a lot of swearing in this one. You've been warned.
So stop pretending you don't understand Portuguese and press play!

How Brazilians Say NO Without Saying NO.
“Bora marcar!” — Sounds like a plan, right? Well… not necessarily.
In today's episode of Brazilian Break, we're talking about the excuses Brazilians use when they don't really want to go somewhere.
From “vamos ver” to “te dou um toque”, we'll help you understand when a Brazilian is making plans… and when they're politely trying to escape them.
So stop making excuses and press play!
