HELLO EVERYONE, EVERYTHING GOOD? ANOTHER EPISODE OF THE PORTUGUESE PODCAST IS STARTING OUTSIDE. WITH ME HERE IS MY WIFE, LETÍCIA.
HELLO LETICIA? HELLO OLAVO! MY NAME IS OLAVO, AND IN TODAY'S EPISODE, ME AND LETÍCIA, WE 'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT A VERY INTERESTING TOPIC THAT YOU CAN ALSO PRACTICE.
FAMILY. RIGHT LETITIA? THAT'S RIGHT!
SPECIFICALLY ABOUT FAMILY TASKS, OK? IF YOU'RE NEW TO OUR PODCAST, OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL, OR IF YOU'RE LISTENING TO THIS AUDIO NOW, YOU'RE VERY WELCOME! LETÍCIA, COULD YOU EXPLAIN TO OUR NEW SUBSCRIBERS, TO OUR NEW FRIENDS WHAT THE PORTUGUESE PODCAST IS ALL ABOUT?
CERTAINLY! SO, OUTSIDE THE PORTUGUESE PODCAST, IT IS NOT JUST A CHANNEL THAT TALKS ABOUT GRAMMAR, BUT WE ALSO ADDRESS THIS SUBJECT, BUT OUR IDEA IS TO BRING CONTENT OF YOUR INTEREST, ABOUT FAMILY, MONEY, HEALTH AND ALSO PORTUGUESE. BECAUSE, BESIDES YOU ARE STUDYING SOME DIFFERENT KNOWLEDGE, YOU ARE ALSO TRAINING YOUR PORTUGUESE.
VERY GOOD! VERY GOOD THANK YOU, LETITIA! YOU ARE WELCOME!
AND YOU JUST FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THIS PORTUGUESE IS ACTUALLY FOR FOREIGNERS, RIGHT? WHO ARE LEARNING PORTUGUESE. SO, HERE WE PRODUCE A LOT OF CONTENT IN PORTUGUESE, OF COURSE, RIGHT?
SO FOREIGNERS CAN PRACTICE PORTUGUESE. VERY GOOD! AND IN TODAY'S EPISODE, WE 'RE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT FAMILY.
WE ALWAYS USE CELPE-BRAS THEMES, WHICH YOU CAN ACCESS ON THE WEBSITE. WE HAVE THE LINK IN THE DESCRIPTION SO YOU CAN PRACTICE VARIOUS THEMES. THERE ARE THE PRACTICAL TESTS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS, SO IT'S VERY INTERESTING TOO, OK?
BEFORE WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT THIS TOPIC, RIGHT LETÍCIA? LET'S INVITE YOU TO OUR LIVES ON SATURDAYS. YES, THAT'S IT PEOPLE!
EVERY SATURDAY, AT 4:04PM, WE MEET TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO YOU LIVE. EXACTLY! ON SATURDAYS WE RECORD A LIVE EPISODE.
SO YOU'RE INVITED, OK? ANOTHER INVITATION TOO, IS SO THAT YOU CAN SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL ON TELEGRAM. WE PRODUCE A LOT OF CONTENT THERE TOO, EVEN A LITTLE MORE INTIMATE, MORE INFORMAL, RIGHT LETÍCIA?
AND THERE WE ARE SURE THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE THIS CONTENT, BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW SOCIAL MEDIA WORKS. NOT EVERYONE, EVEN REGISTERED, EVEN FOLLOWING OUR PROFILE ON SOCIAL NETWORKS, YOU MAYBE NOT GOING TO RECEIVE OUR MESSAGES, OUR CONTENTS, OUR PORTUGUESE TIPS. THEN ON TELEGRAM YOU WILL RECEIVE IT, OK?
THE LAST MESSAGE IS OUR PARTNER HERE IN OUR PODCAST, RIGHT LETÍCIA? THE ITALKI WEBSITE. IF YOU DON'T KNOW THIS SITE YET, WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DOWN, OK?
I'M AN ENGLISH STUDENT THERE, I'M A PORTUGUESE TUTOR TOO, AND WE HAVE A SPECIAL LINK SO YOU CAN FIND OUT AND PRACTICE YOUR CONVERSATION THERE. THERE ARE SEVERAL BRAZILIANS! YOU CAN FILTER BY INTEREST, FINALLY, BY REGION.
WITH THIS LINK YOU WILL EARN $10 TO TAKE YOUR CLASSES. WELL, THEN LET'S GO LETÍCIA? LET'S START TRYING TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS, SO THAT WE CAN HELP OUR FRIENDS.
AND YOU CAN ALSO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS TO PRACTICE YOUR PORTUGUESE, OK? SO LETÍCIA I WILL READ THE FIRST QUESTION TO YOU HERE AND WE'LL TALK AND ANSWER THIS QUESTION, OK? WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON THE PARTICIPATION OF CHILDREN IN HOUSEHOLD TASKS?
WHAT DO YOU THINK? GOOD, FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, RIGHT? I AM A CHILDREN'S TEACHER.
I TEACH CLASSES IN DAY CARE. MY CLASS HAS CURRENTLY BEEN FIVE YEARS OLD, SO I BELIEVE I CAN GIVE AN OPINION WITH A CERTAIN PROPERTY ON THAT, RIGHT? A TECHNICAL OPINION.
YEA! FROM SCHOOL, CHILDREN HAVE HELPED US SINCE THEY WERE SMALL, TO STORE THINGS IN THE PLACE, TO LEAVE THE ROOM CLEAN, TO RESPECT THE SCHEDULE, THE ROUTINE. THEREFORE, I BELIEVE THAT, WHEN IT COMES TO HOUSEHOLD HOUSES, THE CHILDREN MUST HAVE THEIR PARTICIPATION.
LOGICALLY, WITHIN THEIR LIMITS, BUT IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT THAT THEY, SINCE THEY WERE SMALL, ALREADY HAVE THIS CONTACT AND THIS IDEA OF RESPONSIBILITY THERE WITH THE ENVIRONMENT, WE WANT TO HAVE CHILDREN, RIGHT LETÍCIA? SOON WE WILL HAVE OUR CHILDREN. SO, WE CAN ALREADY THINK OF SOME TASKS FOR THEM, RIGHT?
YES YES! CERTAINLY! I AM ALSO A TEACHER AND I THINK IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT THAT CHILDREN HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES AT HOME.
HELP WITH ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSE, OF COURSE, WITHOUT CHILD EXPLOITATION, BUT YES, HELP TO COLLECT THEIR OWN TOYS, EVEN NOT TO GET DIRTY. FINALLY, SIMPLE THING. I THINK THAT ALREADY, THIS IS ALREADY A VERY PEDAGOGICAL, DIDACTIC, EDUCATIONAL WAY, RIGHT?
WITH OUR CHILDREN. YES, AND IT'S ALREADY CREATING A HABIT SINCE I'M SMALL, WHEN I'M GROWING UP, AND THE RESPONSIBILITIES CAN BE INCREASED, THEY WILL NOT BE STRANGE BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT SINCE THEY'RE LITTLE. IT'S VERY GOOD!
NEXT QUESTION, CAN WE? WE CAN! THAT WOULD BE A LITTLE MORE POLEMIC QUESTION, OK?
LETÍCIA, DO YOU THINK BOYS SHOULD DO HOUSEHOLD TASKS DIFFERENTLY FROM GIRLS? WHY? JUSTIFY YOUR ANSWER.
CERTAINLY NOT! WE SHOULD NOT DIFFERENTIATE TASKS OF BOYS AND GIRLS. NO, NO!
THE SAME TASKS, THERE'S NO REASON. SO PEOPLE THINK, RIGHT? MAINLY IN THE FUTURE.
MEN AND WOMEN WILL GROW UP WHO WILL DO THE SAME THINGS. THEY'RE GOING TO SWEEP THE HOUSE, THEY'RE GOING TO WASH THE DISHES, AND THESE ARE THINGS FOR MEN AND WOMEN, THERE IS NO DEFINED SEX FOR THIS TYPE OF ACTION, RIGHT? SO, SINCE THEY WERE LITTLE, WE HAVE TO GET THEM USED TO DO EVERYTHING.
REGARDLESS OF THE ACTION THAT IS THERE. NOT BECAUSE IT'S A BOY OR BECAUSE IT'S A GIRL. THE TWO WILL ARRANGE THE TOYS, THE TWO WILL FOLD THE BED SHEET, THE TWO WILL SPREAD THE TOWEL, AND SO IT GOES.
YES YES! THERE ARE THOSE STEREOTYPES OF HOUSEHOLD TASKS CARRIED OUT BY MOTHERS, SO CONSEQUENTLY, SOME FAMILIES, SOME PARENTS, TRANSFER THIS ON TO THEIR CHILDREN TOO. THE GIRLS WILL CLEAN THE HOUSE OR PUT THE CLOTHES AND THE BOYS WILL DO THE PARENTS' AND MEN'S TASKS, RIGHT?
MAYBE CHANGE A LAMP, I DON'T KNOW. SOMETHING THAT NATURALLY, HISTORICALLY, ARE MASCULINE THINGS, RIGHT? BUT I ALSO THINK, OF COURSE, FROM EARLY EARLY, IT IS INTERESTING NOT TO MAKE THAT DIVISION.
IT IS IMPORTANT, SUDDENLY, TO MAKE EVEN A ROTATION. ORGANIZE EVERY WEEK, ALTERNATE THE TASKS SO THEY CAN EXPERIMENT AND REALLY BREAK THIS PARADIGM OF MASCULINE TASKS AND FEMALE TASKS. AND IF IT'S ABOUT PEOPLE, OUR CHILDREN WILL ALREADY SEE US DOING THE SAME THINGS.
THEN, I BELIEVE, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GROW UP WITH THAT TO-DO LOOK OF BOYS AND GIRLS. YES YES. AND OF COURSE, OF COURSE, THIS IS AFTER THE STAGE, EVEN THE ADOLESCENCE STAGE, IN THE ADULT STAGE ITSELF, THERE MAYBE THERE ARE MORE TASKS FOR MEN BECAUSE OF, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE PHYSICAL ISSUE.
FROM THE STRENGTH OF A MAN TO BE ABLE TO CARRY OUT SOME HARDER TASKS, AND SOMETIMES A WOMAN HAS A BETTER SUBTLE AND DELICATE WAY FOR OTHER THINGS, RIGHT? BUT I THINK WHEN CHILDREN DON'T, EVERYONE CAN DO THE SAME THINGS, YES. I BELIEVE THAT AFTER THE ADULT THEY WILL EVEN MAKE THEIR PREFERENCES, THAT SOMETIMES ONE WILL PREFER TO TIDY THE HOUSE WHILE ANOTHER WILL PREFER TO WASH THE BOWL, AND THEY WILL COME INTO AN AGREEMENT, LIKE WE DID.
I THINK YOU CAN ALSO ANSWER THIS QUESTION WITH A LOT OF PROPERTY, LETÍCIA. IS THE FOLLOWING: DO YOU THINK THAT TAKING ON THESE HOUSEHOLD RESPONSIBILITIES COULD COMPROMISE THE CHILDREN'S SCHOOL PERFORMANCE? OF COURSE NOT, RIGHT PEOPLE?
I BELIEVE THAT, LOGICALLY, EVERYTHING IS WITHIN THE LIMITS AS WE SAID. IT IS NOT THE CHILD TAKING THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DOING SOMETHING AND STAYING SOLELY IN HER RESPONSIBILITY. BUT SHE WILL HELP, FOR EXAMPLE, BY DRAWING OUT A CLOTHES.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO WASH TWO CLOTHING MACHINES AND WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE CHILD TO DRAIN IT ALONE, NO. SHE WILL BE HELPING US DO THIS, RIGHT? LET'S NOT LEAVE TOO BIG RESPONSIBILITY FOR A CHILD.
SHE HAS TO HAVE HIS TIME TO PLAY, SHE HAS TO HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES, BUT SHE ALSO HAS TO BE OK TO BE ABLE TO STUDY, RIGHT? YES YES! I THINK THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, IT HAPPENS TO PARENTS, SOME PARENTS END UP DELEGATING, TRANSFERRING CERTAIN RESPONSIBILITIES THAT ARE NOT THEIR CHILDREN'S.
THEY CAN HELP IN DUE PROPORTION, IT IS IMPORTANT, IT IS HEALTHY ALSO. ASSUME THOSE COLLECTIVE, COOPERATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE HOUSE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE SOME SAD REALITIES WHERE A CHILD EVEN TAKES CARE OF ANOTHER CHILD, GENERALLY OF THE LITTLE BROTHER. OR REALLY DOES THE HEAVY CHORES IN THE HOUSE: SWEEPING, CLEANING THE HOUSE, EVEN COOKING.
SOMETIMES LITTLE CHILDREN, HANDLING HOT PANS, FIRE, RIGHT? THIS IS REALLY VERY COMPLICATED. OF COURSE , THAT WAY, THIS WILL INEVITABLY COMPROMISE SCHOOL PERFORMANCE IF THAT CHILD IS GOING TO SCHOOL, RIGHT?
BECAUSE SOMETIMES SHE IS NOT GOING AT SCHOOL ANYMORE. THIS IS WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY, THESE ARE COMPLICATED REALITIES TOO, BUT I THINK THAT IN THE RIGHT DOSAGE THERE IS NO PROBLEM. YES, THE CHILD CAN YES, PERFORM SOME HOUSEHOLD TASKS, STUDY OF COURSE, HAVE FUN, PLAY ALSO, EVERYTHING SHE HAS THE RIGHT TO, RIGHT?
YOUR RIGHTS AND ALSO DUTIES, FROM YOUNG PEOPLE. I THINK THAT IF YOU'RE ALREADY CONDITIONING, YOU'RE ALREADY RAISING AND EDUCING YOUR CHILD IN THE BEST WAY. THAT'S RIGHT!
VERY GOOD LETÍCIA, LAST QUESTION FOR US, OK? WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD, HOW WERE THE TASKS DIVIDED IN YOUR HOUSE? REMEMBERING THAT IN YOUR HOUSE IS YOUR FATHER, YOUR MOTHER, YOU AND YOUR BROTHER, FELIPE, RIGHT?
A COUPLE OF CHILDREN, THEIR FATHER AND THEIR MOTHER. WHAT WAS IT LIKE AT YOUR HOUSE? YOU KNOW I HAVE A BAD MEMORY, RIGHT?
I'M HERE TRYING TO REMEMBER, BUT I BELIEVE THERE WAS A DIVISION. I REMEMBER ALWAYS HELPING MY MOTHER TO DUST THE FURNITURE BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T LIKE TO DO THAT. SO IT WAS THE TASK LEFT FOR ME.
QUIET, RIGHT? Dusting the furniture… AND I LIKED IT. IT'S YOUR BROTHER?
MY BROTHER I DON'T REMEMBER, BUT I DON'T THINK HE ALSO RUN AWAY. PROBABLY HE WAS DOING SOMETHING ELSE. WE DON'T TALK ABOUT OUR BELL.
TRUTH! WE HAD THIS IDEA, OF A BELL, TO IDENTIFY GOOD EXPRESSIONS, WORDS, WHEN WE TALK HERE, RIGHT? WHAT YOU SAID NOW, DO YOU REMEMBER?
TOA. TOA. COULD YOU EXPLAIN, PLEASE?
WHAT DOES TOA MEAN? IT'S ALL ABOUT DOING NOTHING, DOING NOTHING, BEING COMPLETELY AVAILABLE, FREE, WITH NO TASK TO BE DONE. SO, I BELIEVE MY BROTHER WAS NOT DOING ANYTHING, PROBABLY SWEEPING THE STREET, WASHING THE BACKYARD, ORGANIZING HIS ROOM.
THAT YES! EACH ONE HAD TO ORGANIZE HIS OWN ROOM. BUT ON THE MATTER OF CLEANING THE HOUSE, I BELIEVE MY BROTHER WAS IN CHARGE OF SWEEPING THE STREET AND SIDEWALKS.
And I was left with the part about dusting furniture, I remember that. COME BACK AT HOME WE ARE THREE CHILDREN, MY FATHER AND MY MOTHER. A BIG HOUSE… I REMEMBER THAT WE HAD DIVISIONS IN TASKS.
WE HAD A BITCH, A LITTLE DOG, BIG DOG ACTUALLY. AND WE HAD THE TASKS OF CLEANING, CARE FOR HER, FEEDING HER, THERE WAS THAT TASK TOO. MY SISTER, HAD SOME TASKS HER AGE, SHE IS OLDER THEN, CLEANING THE DISHES, EVEN PREPARING SOME FOOD.
AND I WAS MORE LIKE CLEANING AND ORGANIZATION, I WOULD SAY YOU KNOW? MY BROTHER DIDN'T TAKE MUCH RESPONSIBILITY NO. MY BROTHER IS THE YOUNGEST, I'M IN THE MIDDLE, BUT THERE WERE COMPLETELY HEALTHY TASKS TOO.
I DON'T REMEMBER COMPROMISING MY STUDIES, MY CHILDHOOD. I WAS A VERY HAPPY CHILD TOO . WERE YOU A HAPPY CHILD?
WENT! VERY GOOD GUYS, SO THAT WAS TODAY'S EPISODE! WE HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT!
