Answer Question
Portuguese level 2 lesson 1 - Question about essa, esse, isso vs. this and that
In Portuguese level 2, lesson 1 you indicate that essa, esse, and isso translates to "this" in english. I think that is wrong. It is my understanding that essa, esse, and isso translates to "that" (for things that are close to the person you are speaking to) and aquele / aquela translates to "that" (for things that are not close to anyone in the conversation) . The words esta, este, and isto translate to "this".
