Today, we’re going to do a listening comprehension activity with a great thirteen minute documentary on graffiti art in São Paulo. Watch the video clicking the link above (which has subtitles) and then take a look at the questions to see how well you picked up on vocabulary in the video.

1. What’s the word for “flashlight” in Portuguese?
2. How does the artist say “I could go on forever” in Portuguese?
3. There’s a shot of a graffiti painting with the message “Please don’t throw trash.” How is it written in Portuguese?
4. What’s the difference between the Portuguese words for “tunnel” and “tunnels?”
5. What’s the Portuguese word for “skull?”

After just watching the great documentary, I couldn’t get one question right even though I heard other common words that I’ve learned. Great exercise for practice though. Keep it coming!!
