Not only are Brazilians thought of as being very friendly, now they even want to personalize their infinitive verbs!  Valdo and Michelle lead the way in showing us how to do the same.  Culturally, we talk about the price of education in the United States.  And take a peek at this picture!  Orlando's really into the Texas Pride.  Hook 'em Horns!DialogPortugueseMichelle: Ã bom fazermos as contas porque esse mÃªs vai ser duro pagar a universidade.Valdo: Quando eles mandarem o valor a gente se preocupa com isso.Michelle: Mas Ã© importante nÃ£o esquecermos que as universidades pÃºblicas aqui nos Estados Unidos nÃ£o sÃ£o gratuitas como no Brasil.Valdo: Pois Ã©, e como custa caro! Por isso Ã© que depois de terminarem os estudos os alunos estÃ£o todos pobres e endividados.Michelle: Ainda bem que para as universidades pÃºblicas no Brasil sÃ³ basta passarmos no vestibular e pronto.Valdo: Ã verdade. Para os alunos freqÃ¼entarem as universidades privadas no Brasil, eles tÃªm que pagar, mas para cursarem as pÃºblicas, que sÃ£o mantidas pelo governo, nÃ£o.SpanishMichelle: SerÃ­a bueno preparar el presupuesto porque este mes va a ser duro pagar la universidad.Valdo: Cuando ellos mandan la cuenta nos preocupamos mucho.Michelle: Pero es importante recordar que las universidades pÃºblicas aquÃ­ en los Estados Unidos no son gratuitas como en el Brasil.Valdo: Es verdad, y quÃ© caro es!  Es por eso que despuÃ©s de terminar con los estudios los alumnos estÃ¡n pobres y endeudados.Michelle: Lo bueno de las universidades pÃºblicas en el Brasil es que nada mÃ¡s se necesita pasar el vestibular y ya.Valdo: Es verdad.  Para asistir a las universidades privadas en el Brazil, hay que pagar, pero no para matricularse en las pÃºblicas, que son mantenidas por el gobierno.EnglishMichelle: It would be a good thing to do our budget because this month it is going to be tough to pay for the university.Valdo: When they send the bill we really get worried about things.Michelle: But it's important to remember that public universities in the United States are not for free like they are in Brazil.Valdo: Right, and it is expensive!  That's why after students are done with their studies they end up poor and in debt.Michelle: Fortunately in public universities in Brazil you just need to past the vestibular and that's it.Valdo: That's true.  For those students who would like to attend a private university, they'll have to pay. But for those who enroll in the public ones, which are paid for by the government, they don't need to.
