You don't hear the second "a" of "para" in "para a minha filha" because when two vowels meet like that, the second one takes over (in continuous speech). If it were "para o meu filho", you would hear "paro meu filho".

Antes de ir as (backward accent on the a) lojas tenho que fazer alguma coisa (if it were "another thing" it would be "outra coisa" without "uma").

Sabio, what's the rule with the backwards accent over an "a" in the word "as"? In the prior lesson you said that it is "as senhoras" but in this one it is suppose to be "às lojas".

Also, in the lessons we either hear "aqui" or "lá" meaning here or there. However, my grammer books show some actual pictures as illustrations of here, there, and over there. Aqui, aí, and lá. Ditto with esta, essa, and aquela. Is this third location not used in Brazil or has Pimsleur just not introduced it yet?

Finally, what's the story with "you"? 99% of the time we use vocé or a formal version of o senhor or a senhora. However, several times they have introduced "te" as in "eu te disse" or "eu posso te levar". Is the "tu" form being mixed with the "vocé" just in certain pronoun situations or what? I was under the impression that outside of a few areas of Brazil the "tu" form is not used. They certainly haven't used any verbs with a "tu" ending.

The "a" with a backward accent is a mandatory abbreviation of "a a" meaning "to the". Hence, "as lojas" with the backward accent means "to the shops", while without means just "the shops".

There versus over there is used, but if you mix the two there will be no problem.

You are right about "tu". It is used in Portugal and in the South of Brazil, but is now basically extinct in Rio. However, because its conjugations are unambiguously second-person (as opposed to voce which uses third-person conjugations), its derivatives like te (corresponds to "o" or "a") and tua (corresponds to "sua") are still in use. It is acceptable in spoken Portuguese, but not in the written version, to mix voce with derivatives of tu.
