Hello, everyone! This is Kate.

Welcome to my podcast. Today we are going to study one very interesting and important grammar, which is gonna help you to sound like a native speaker.

Ready?-Let’s go!


Okay, imagine that you need to go to the hairdressers. Your hair is long and obviously it’s time to do something with it. How would you tell this to your companion?  

“I’m gonna cut my hair?”, but you are not doing it yourself, so, there is a better option.

If you are getting some services, there is a construction which simplifies everything.

To have something done.

Listen to my examples:

I have my hair cut every month.
I’m having my hair cut right now.
I’ve decided. I will have my hair cut!

The verb have is used like any other verb and it follows all the rules.

Present simple: I have my windows cleaned every week. Someone cleans them for me.
Present Perfect: I have just had my dinner cooked. Someone cooked it for me.
Past Continuous: I was having my homework checked yesterday.


You see, it’s super easy and handy!


Practise yourself, here are some sentences in the description below:

I didn't cook my dinner myself. Someone prepared it for me.
I usually don't clean the windows by myself.
I have never cut my hair myself
I will not fix my car. My dad will do it for me.
I won’t check my blood pressure myself.

Have something done: WHAT IS IT?

Olá, tudo bem? Eu sou a Georgia, professora de português brasileiro para estrangeiros. A ideia desse podcast é divulgar o português brasileiro falando sobre curiosidades sobre o Brasil, cultura brasileira, música, cinema, folclore e também sobre a língua, gramática, expressões populares, tudo isso em linguagem acessível para alunos de nível intermediário que estejam aprendendo a nossa língua. Esse é o primeiro episódio, minha primeira tentativa, e eu espero que dê certo e você goste!

Mande uma mensagem para mim contando o que achou, dando sugestões para os próximos episódios ou falando um pouco sobre a sua experiência com o português brasileiro. Vou adorar ler as suas contribuições!

#1 - Expressões comuns em português brasileiro

Last time we discussed ‘sicknesses’. Today we are talking about an almost equally annoying topic which is ‘learning Chinese’. All of the tone struggles, countless characters and diverse accents can sometimes really give Chinese learners the headache. Let’s talk it all through and hopefully it eases up our frustration. 

Note: This podcast is intended for language learning ONLY. Not for promoting or criticizing any political party or ideology. Let’s keep it friendly and accessible to all :)

Also, all of the experiences are the hosts’ own experiences so please do your own research if you need more information.
