A small situation.
Something you can use.
It is the morning rush at a neighborhood café in São Paulo. You will order coffee and a croissant at the counter and respond when the barista asks whether you would like anything else.
A phrase to get you started
Um café, por favor. Pode me dar um croissant também?
A coffee, please. Could you give me a croissant too?
Prepare the words, work through the guided exchange, then try speaking with the barista yourself.
