Soap Opera Bitch Slaps!
Register for free daily emails:
Latinos are infamous for their fiery emotions and there's nothing quite like a good bitch slap to liven up a Brazilian soap opera. Here's a collection of a dozen of the best from the 'novela das seis' or '6pm soap opera'. We laughed our heads off watching these, but in fact, the language used in the arguments makes a fascinating lesson - one that you're unlikely to find in any language book.
Transcripts and our best attempt at translations* below (along with timings).
Enjoy!
