In this episode of Carioca Connection, Alexia and Foster talk about the Gen Z slang younger Brazilians actually use, kicking off a new miniseries told entirely in natural Brazilian Portuguese.

You’ll learn real-life slang expressions like rizz (charisma when flirting), delulo (kidding yourself about a crush, or anything else), and situationship (a relationship with no label). Alexia also explains how people talk about dating in Brazil today, and how that’s different from her own upbringing (ter sal, bom de papo).

As always, this episode is full of authentic Brazilian Portuguese that you won’t find in textbooks or apps. Enjoy!
