Sip and Speak by Portuguese and Play | Amora Estudio 9 June 2026
Welcome to SIP AND SPEAK. We give you a drink or two to loosen up the vocal cords (and nerves!) and together we practice some reading, writing and speaking in Portuguese. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic options will be available! Drinks and snacks are included in your ticket price. What to expect To make things easier, we structure the event around scenarios to role play. We give you a prompt (e.g. you need to explain to the vet that your dog swallowed a pencil sharpener) and you collaborate with another attendee to write a dialogue. You then have the opportunity to present your dialogue to the group, simply reading it or acting it out for dramatic effect! You are welcome to use whatever tools you need to get your dialogue written. Shy folks, despair not, if you don’t feel comfortable reading your dialogue out loud, our facilitators are at the ready to assist! We are teaming up with Moma (@momaliciousss) for this first Sip and Speak to do the roleplay using her epic dolls as conduits for our expression. Moma can also assist with Brazilian pronunciation and grammar. Iolanda (@iolanda.p) will also be there to help facilitate the session, focussing on Portuguese pronunciation and grammar. About Portuguese and Play Portuguese and Play is the brain and love child of Astrid Lillie, a Portuguese language learner herself. Our goal is to make learning Portuguese more playful and fun, as we believe that this is a way to unlock the virtuous cycle with respect to language learning. We believe in mixed level group classes, acquisition through exposure, catering to neurospiciness, diversity and inclusion. Follow us on instagram for updates! @portuguese_and_play
