# First steps: Buying clothes

**Language:** Portuguese  
**CEFR Level:** A1  

> Master shopping for clothes by listening to Rita and Miguel's conversation about finding the right size. It may feel challenging at first, but by the end of this course you will be able to fully understand and participate.

**Setting:** A small clothes shop in the Baixa in Coimbra on a quiet afternoon. Rita came in to look around and Miguel is the only person working. Both hold the polite form throughout.

## Lessons

### 1. Browsing without buying

Miguel offers to help, Rita says she is only looking, and then she spots a T-shirt.

### 2. Saying what size you are

Miguel thinks he is out of Rita's size, then finds one.

### 3. Asking for another colour

Rita asks Miguel what colours the T-shirt comes in.

### 4. Asking to try something on

Rita asks to try the T-shirt on, and Miguel points out the changing room.

### 5. Saying something is too big

The medium is too big, so Miguel fetches Rita a small.

### 6. Saying something fits well

Rita tells Miguel the smaller T-shirt is just right.

### 7. Buying what you chose

Rita buys the T-shirt and Miguel bags it up.
