Olá, pessoal! Does anyone have any interest in learning idioms in Portuguese?

A very common idiom in Brazil is using "minha praia" (literally: "my beach") to refer to something you're particularly into.

For example, we can use it to express that we really like or want something:

• "Nunca pensei em ser ator, a minha praia mesmo é cantar." ("I never thought about being an actor, what I really want is to sing")
• "Ela não curte matemática, a praia dela é geografia" ("She is not into math, what she really likes is geography")

On the other hand, it can also be used in a negative sentence:

• "Eu posso assistir 'Annabelle' com você, mas filmes de terror não são minha praia" ("I can watch 'Annabelle' with you, but horror movies are not my kind of thing")
• "Ele prefere ficar em casa, ir para a balada não é muito sua praia" ("He prefers to stay home, going to parties is not his kind of thing")

And finally, we can also use to compare preferences:

• "Eu estou aprendendo espanhol, mas francês é mais minha praia" ("I am learning Spanish, but I like French better")
• "Ela me deu um CD do U2, mas Coldplay é mais mais a minha praia" ("She gave me a U2 CD, but I prefer Coldplay")

I hope this really helps :) If there's people interested, I can try to recall some other Brazilian idioms in future occasions.

Até mais!
