In this episode we’ll hear in Portuguese a wide range of objects found in the optician’s office and their English translation. All nouns are preceded by the definite article (a, o, as, os) in order to define their gender. Those preceded by “o, os” are masculine and those preceded by “a, as” are feminine.
