Online European Portuguese lessons for kids: dinolingo.com
Get fairy tales and storybooks in European Portuguese online or from your local library
Children love shared reading time and regardless of language acquisition, they will always remember the time they spent with you reading books. Try to find books with good illustrations. Look at the pictures with your child, point to things they already know in European Portuguese.
As you come across new words ask the child what they think it is. If it is illustrated, have them point it out on the page. Use different voices for different characters. If your child has a favorite European Portuguese story encourage him/her to play different characters making up the words from memory. Help your child to use his/her imagination to change the story or change the ending.
Use puppets or turn your child's favorite plush toy into a puppet that talks in European Portuguese
Kids love puppets and puppet play is great for motor skills. You can tell much-loved stories through puppet play, either using the whole body or make a puppet theatre from a box and use hand or finger puppets. Finger puppets are also fun when singing songs.
Go to the zoo and call the name of the animals together in European Portuguese
If you have any, look at some animal books together, then go to the zoo for the day. Ask your child the names of the animals he/she has learned and point out the new ones. This is a great place to add in adjectives and colors. When you come home, encourage your child to draw pictures of what he/she saw and talk about them together using European Portuguese.
Play hide and seek by counting in European Portuguese
Hide and seek is a great game for practicing numbers. You could start with 1 to 10 and gradually increase. When your child knows them well you could count down backward. When 'seeking' your child it's a good opportunity to repeat words without it sounding repetitive.
Play board games in European Portuguese e.g.: snakes and ladders, board games, family games
Dice games are always good for counting and also a simple addition. Board games played with the whole family can be a time for relaxed learning. Just playing a simple board game such as snakes and ladders teaches a young child so much more than just language. They also learn rules of play, understanding goals and of course, that family games equal FUN!
Play games by using flashcard games e.g.: Go fish, memory game
Flashcards are one of your most valuable resources in teaching language to young children. With multiples of the same cards, you can play well-known games such as Go Fish or the 'memory game'.
Very small children may struggle to hold too many cards, so play games that have the child match one card to another. Match up a sound with a picture, or two cards that have the same sound, or two pictures that match, any way you choose.
Lay cards out on the floor or table and have your child touch the card as you call out words/sounds. Encourage your child to be the caller and you touch the cards. Keep it playful and fun.
Have a progress chart that tracks the words and phrases your child mastered
A simple progress chart teaches your child clear goals and kids love stickers. Let your child know when he/she is approaching a goal, make a big deal of reaching the goals, be excited to get the stickers out. Praise him/her for their achievement with a 'great job', a hug or a 'high five' (or all three).
Listen to children's songs in European Portuguese together or reward your child for memorizing a short one
Listen to children's songs in the European Portuguese whenever and wherever you can. Keep CDs in the car or put a CD on quietly in the background when you are doing something else. Add actions to the songs, this helps kids remember the words. If it suits your child's personality, encourage them to 'perform' songs for you. You could have a special 'song night'.
Listen to pop songs in European Portuguese together or reward your child for memorizing a short one
Teach your child some catchy pop songs that you both like. Something with suitable lyrics and a good chorus is easiest to remember. Sing it around the house as you do other things when your child tries to join in, model the language and encourage them to sing with you.
Find cartoons in the European Portuguese on Youtube or online
Cartoons are a great way to engage kids in the European Portuguese. Kids can figure out the story visually without worrying about not understanding every word. It's easy to buy DVDs from online in almost any language or, alternatively, look for them on YouTube. Let your child guide you to which cartoons they like best. Watch them together and you will know which language to reinforce.
Have an annual/monthly goal checklist
Make a checklist of goals or ideas of where you want to be with the language learning over a year. Break it down into monthly mini-goals.
It will help you stay focused on where you are going and also a great way to look back and see how far you and your child have come.
Create youtube playlists or find playlists suitable for your child's level
YouTube is a super resource. You can create playlists of European Portuguese teaching videos, these days people post from all over the world.
They might be short tutorials, or craft ideas you can incorporate into your language learning, or children's songs you can sing together. Look for playlists already put together by others with the same goal.
Join online support groups (forums, facebook pages, twitter lists, multicultural blog groups etc.)
Join some online groups to exchange ideas and information. Support is invaluable too. Teaching European Portuguese can hit some hurdles, it is important to be able to connect with people who are having the same difficulties or have successfully navigated these hurdles. Facebook and Twitter are great for immediate connections. Online chat groups or forums can give you a sense of community and common goals.
Visit the website of Portugal's ministry of culture
Have a look at the website and find interesting information about Portugal. Read about traditional food, dances, and costumes. Look at statistics such as population. Find some fun facts about the climate, holidays and customs. Talk about them with your child and follow their lead on which parts they are interested in. You can also get all this information and more here.
Go to public libraries and check all the available resources in European Portuguese
Libraries are an excellent resource. If they don't have things in European Portuguese ask the librarian if it is possible to order them. Also, check out the noticeboard and see if there are any kids groups speaking European Portuguese in the area. You might make some new friends too.
Make use of language learning DVDs for kids
Language DVDs come handy, especially for busy parents, as they repeat useful words and phrases in a fun and interesting way Check them out, Look for something that is specifically for kids, that uses games and songs and has well-structured levels.
Play CDs when driving your child to school
Always play CDs in European Portuguese when you are in the car. It could be songs or a kids' language learning CD, whatever your child likes. Do it consistently so your child comes to expect the European Portuguese in the car.
Play streaming radio in the background at home or make use of Spotify, Lastfm, etc.
Nowadays, there are a lot of resources that help you play streaming radio through personal electronic devices and laptops, etc. All you need is a tune into one of the local radio stations and have the radio or the song list play in the background all day long. Even if your child does not understand what has been spoken or the lyrics of the songs he/she will get used to the new sounds and intonation patterns.
Make use of worksheets for beginners
There are a great many websites offering worksheets for beginners. Many are free and some you can pay monthly or a yearly fee. Kids love worksheets. Some may be simple coloring sheets (kids LOVE coloring), or sheets that help fine motor skills through pencil manipulation. Buy some stickers and put one on each sheet your child completes.
Make use of Flashcards
There is no end to the fun to be had from playing games with flashcards even if you child is still too young to play a game that has structure and rules. You can make your own 'games' call out a card, have your child touch it/pick it up. 'Hide' the cards around the room and have your child find them and say what they are etc.
You can also put the flashcards up around the room. Change them each week in categories (animals/flowers/ fruit/etc. Look at them and say them often with your child. Ask them, "What's this? / What's that?"
Put them on your fridge with magnets or let your child do this. You call out the words and have them put them on.
Get a picture dictionary to get started
A Children's picture dictionary is a wonderful resource. Follow your child's curiosity about it. Let him/her choose what he/she wants to know on any given day. Ask him/her more information about the words they do know. "What color is it?" " Is it big or small? " "Where does it live?" "What does it do?"
Consider getting an alphabet book
Introduce your child to the shapes of letters with a simple alphabet book. This is especially useful if the European Portuguese alphabet is different from that of the 1st language. For young learners, get a very simple, 'starter' book, also great for fine motor skills and pencil control.
Think about kinesthetic learning (learning by doing). Coloring books, sketchbooks or DVDs that children watch and dance are great!
The research is in that kids learn best by doing (don't we all?).
Anything that gets kids moving their bodies or their hands helps them to learn. Watch DVDs together, makeup dances, put on 'shows', even dress up. Encourage your child's inner artist with a sketchbook. Color, paint, draw and talk about the colors and your child's pictures in the European Portuguese. Coloring in pictures is a very relaxing activity (you should do it too!) Kids tend to be very relaxed when they are coloring, a good time to make some general chitchat in European Portuguese.
Mix paints and talk in European Portuguese about how colors are made.
Consider getting a reading pen
The very latest translation tool. A 'reading pen' scans and translates. The translated text appears on a small screen on the pen and can also provide an audio pronunciation of words or full sentences.
Find some talking or singing plush toys
There are so many talking toys on the market these days. Try one that says greetings in European Portuguese (or multiple languages) or one that sings traditional songs/nursery rhymes from Portugal.
Make use of culture books prepared for little kids
Ready-made 'culture books' are great for learning about different countries. Read them together, ask questions and encourage your child to ask lots of questions too. After reading one, you could make a simple one together using pictures from magazines, or encourage your child to draw pictures too. Gather information together at the library or from the internet.
Decorate your child's room with learning posters (colors, numbers) or pictures from Portugal (flag, the cities, etc.)
Get some large colorful posters to decorate your child's room or the learning space you use. Point things out and ask questions, swap roles and have your child ask the questions too, this also helps model the pronunciation. Ask which is your child's favorite poster and why?
Follow their lead on the things that interest them.
Follow a simple syllabus prepared for kids
Use the simple syllabus prepared in your language learning system or make one yourself. Let your child know what it is so he/she can see what they will be doing. Children tend to do better when they know what is coming and what is expected of them.
Use stickers as rewards (stickers that say congratulations, wonderful, etc. in the European Portuguese)
Kids love stickers! Use them liberally. Take praising your child as an opportunity to use the European Portuguese. If you can find stickers with words of praise in the European Portuguese use those and repeat the words a lot. Use a couple of words at first and add more as your child knows them.
Get some printed items related to the European Portuguese: T-shirts, mugs, children's silverware, etc.
If you have the opportunity to visit the European Portuguese country buy goods with the language on. T-shirts, mugs, and pens are useful as well as educational. Look for postcards, posters or bumper stickers with popular expressions on. Post these around your house.
Arrange play dates or playgroups with other parents who want to teach their children European Portuguese.
Try to find other parents encouraging their children to learn European Portuguese, arrange to play together, go on picnics to the park or take a trip to a zoo or aquarium, great places to practice the language. Making new friends is of great benefit to you too!
Video chat with friends and relatives who have a child that speaks European Portuguese
Encourage video chat with other children you know, that speak European Portuguese. It's easy using Skype or Google Hangouts or something similar. Be nearby to help the conversation along. Be encouraging and resist the temptation to correct your child's mistakes.
Invite Grandma and Grandpa (who can speak European Portuguese) to stay over
Spending time with grandparents is valuable to all parties anyway but spending time with grandparents who speak European Portuguese is great for strengthening bonds and hearing natural language. Your child will come to associate European Portuguese with feelings of love and security.
Hire a short-term or full-time nanny or caregiver that speaks European Portuguese
If it is possible, consider hiring a nanny/caregiver/babysitter who speaks European Portuguese. Even a few hours per week would make a difference (and give you a little free time!).
Cook European Portuguese recipes together with your child
Kids always want to be a 'little helper' in the kitchen. Cook some simple dishes from Portugal together. Us the European Portuguese for instructions, wash, cut, wipe, mix…. Name the ingredients in a natural way as you cook. Here are some European Portuguese recipes
Go to community centers, cultural centers, and temples with your child
Local places of interest are stimulating for your child and cultural centers often have exhibitions or music/dance performances. Look out for anything from Portugal. Community centers are a great place to meet people, look at notice boards for anything from people interested or connected in some way to, European Portuguese. You could even offer to do something yourself, give a talk about the country or a traditional dance etc.
Visit European Portuguese supermarkets and European Portuguese restaurants with your child
Go around a European Portuguese supermarket and point out the foods from Portugal. If your child is unfamiliar with them, ask questions. "How do you think it tastes?" " Do you think this is hard/soft/crunchy/sweet/etc.?" If possible eat in ethnic restaurants. Talk about the food, how it is prepared, where it comes from.
Have a word of the day activity
Pick a 'word of the day', you or your child could choose it, or have your child pick it at random from a pile of word cards. If the word is a noun, look for it around the house and when you go outside. Talk about where it might be found. If it is a verb, find ways to do the action either really or mime it, see if you can spot other people doing it? Or use adverbs and spend some time doing everything in the manner of the adverb, slowly/quickly/happily/etc.
Play European Portuguese online language games (memory, click&tell, etc.) with your child
There are plenty of free online interactive language games for children. Find one that appeals to your child and encourages them to do a little every day. You can check out 3 different kinds of free European Portuguese online language learning games here
Try Skype lessons for children (may not be advised for infants and toddlers)
Many teachers are offering language lessons via Skype. Ask around and see if anyone can recommend a teacher to you. Sit in on the lesson too so you know what language to reinforce between lessons.
Read bedtime stories in European Portuguese to your child
Books, books, books. Kids love books and stories. Read stories in European Portuguese before bed. Often when kids have heard a favorite story many times they know the words. Encourage your child to help tell the story.
Play European Portuguese children's games
Many children's games are the same the world over, play kids games your child already knows in their 1st language but play it in the European Portuguese. Paper, rock, scissors has many variations; play it in the European Portuguese. Hopscotch, skipping games, clapping games etc. can all be played in any language. For more ideas have a look at the games in the different 'countries and cultures' at Dino Lingo (to the right of this post).
Get comic books & children's magazines from Portugal
Ask if a friend or relative overseas can send you comics or children's magazines in European Portuguese. Children's magazines usually have lots of fun facts in them that you can talk about and further research. They also have quizzes and puzzles that are lots of fun to do.
Go to a national parade of the target culture
You could try to find where there is a large community of people from the target culture. They will no doubt have special events to celebrate the holidays of their country of origin. Take your child to their parades and festivals.
Have a personalized notebook especially used for learning the European Portuguese(Don't forget to use it to have your child draw whatever you say in the European Portuguese
Let your child choose the notebook at the shop and decorate it any way they want to make it special. Say words in European Portuguese and have them draw pictures, or even write the word or the first letter, depending on what level they are at. Go back over the pictures every few days. Talk about the pictures and praise your child's drawing skills.
Do local crafts
If you are a native speaker of European Portuguese think about the crafts you did as a child and do them with your child (think also about how happy you were doing this activity with your own mother/father or your friends). Don't worry if you have forgotten how to look on the Internet to refresh your memory. Perhaps you could send something your child makes to grandparents or relatives overseas.
Use chatting apps (WhatsApp, Line, etc.) to talk with friends and family who have same-aged children
Chatting apps are mobile and easy to use. Chat with friends in the European Portuguese who have children about the same age. Encourage your child to chat with them and their kids too. Ask their kids about themselves, their day etc. and encourage your child to talk about themselves.
Sing lullabies in the European Portuguese to put your baby asleep
Lullabies are so soothing for baby and parent. Sing some European Portuguese lullabies to help your baby sleep. You can buy wind-up crib music at a baby store. Play the music and sing in the European Portuguese. Establish is as a routine and enjoy the time to hold your baby and knowing you are soothing him/her.
Consider homeschooling by getting an online curriculum
More and more people are turning to homeschool these days and there are plenty of resources online. Do some research and find something that suits you and your child. Depending on the school hours where you live, it may be possible for your child to attend the local school and follow a homeschooling curriculum.
Send your child to a summer camp where he/she can study European Portuguese in a short time.
Summer camp is a great experience for children. It is often their first extended time away from home and a chance to make lots of new friends and try a variety of activities for the first time. 'Language' camps for kids usually incorporate study with lots of games/crafts/activities related to the European Portuguese culture.

Furnished Apartment
Sliema is a town located along the North East coast of Malta. It is densely populated and a hub for activity. Many offices, shops, cafes, bars and restaurants are dotted around the town as well as many high-rise buildings and apartment blocks which line the coastal promenade. The Sliema promontory stretches for a few kilometers and now joins the adjacent towns of St. Julians and Gzira with a promenade that leads all around the coast to Valletta.
Once a fishing village and home to the wealthier aristocrats in Malta who had beautiful property around the coast which was mainly used as summer residences, Sliema has seen vast changes over the last 50 years with many of the stately villas and town houses which were icons of Sliema being replaced by Life style Developments, modern apartment blocks and commercial establishments. You an still see some of these charming town houses in the back streets with their colourful typical Maltese balconies giving the town a taste of a more laid back lifestyle within the hustle and bustle of the more populated and commercial areas.
Property in Sliema is still extremely sought after by both locals and foreigners and possibly the highest value properties can be found in this area. It is considered a desirable place to live and relatively affluent.
Sliema's promenade, which is host to many walkers and joggers as well as people meeting up for a drink in one of the bars or restaurants which line up along the coast, is a well known landmark the island over and visited by people from all over the island. Swimming facilities are also available at different points just below the promenade.

Jacob's Deception.* 1When Isaac was so old that his eyesight had failed him, he called his older son Esau and said to him, "My son!" "Here I am!" he replied. 2Isaac then said, "Now I have grown old. I do not know when I might die. 3So now take your hunting gear—your quiver and bow—and go out into the open country to hunt some game for me. 4Then prepare for me a dish in the way I like, and bring it to me to eat, so that I may bless you* before I die."
5Rebekah had been listening while Isaac was speaking to his son Esau. So when Esau went out into the open country to hunt some game for his father,a 6Rebekah said to her son Jacob, "Listen! I heard your father tell your brother Esau, 7'Bring me some game and prepare a dish for me to eat, that I may bless you with the LORD's approval before I die.' 8Now, my son, obey me in what I am about to order you. 9Go to the flock and get me two choice young goats so that with these I might prepare a dish for your father in the way he likes. 10Then bring it to your father to eat, that he may bless you before he dies." 11But Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, "But my brother Esau is a hairy man and I am smooth-skinned!b 12Suppose my father feels me? He will think I am making fun of him, and I will bring on myself a curse instead of a blessing." 13His mother, however, replied: "Let any curse against you, my son, fall on me! Just obey me. Go and get me the young goats."
14So Jacob went and got them and brought them to his mother, and she prepared a dish in the way his father liked. 15Rebekah then took the best clothes of her older son Esau that she had in the house, and gave them to her younger son Jacob to wear; 16and with the goatskins she covered up his hands and the hairless part of his neck. 17Then she gave her son Jacob the dish and the bread she had prepared.
18Going to his father, Jacob said, "Father!" "Yes?" replied Isaac. "Which of my sons are you?" 19Jacob answered his father: "I am Esau, your firstborn. I did as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may bless me." 20But Isaac said to his son, "How did you get it so quickly, my son?" He answered, "The LORD, your God, directed me." 21Isaac then said to Jacob, "Come closer, my son, that I may feel you, to learn whether you really are my son Esau or not." 22So Jacob moved up closer to his father. When Isaac felt him, he said, "Although the voice is Jacob's, the hands are Esau's." 23(He failed to identify him because his hands were hairy, like those of his brother Esau; so he blessed him.) 24Again Isaac said, "Are you really my son Esau?" And Jacob said, "I am." 25Then Isaac said, "Serve me, my son, and let me eat of the game so that I may bless you." Jacob served it to him, and Isaac ate; he brought him wine, and he drank. 26Finally his father Isaac said to him, "Come closer, my son, and kiss me." 27As Jacob went up to kiss him, Isaac smelled the fragrance of his clothes. With that, he blessed him, saying,
"Ah, the fragrance of my son
is like the fragrance of a field
that the LORD has blessed!c
28May God give to you
of the dew of the heavens
And of the fertility of the earth
abundance of grain and wine.
29d May peoples serve you,
and nations bow down to you;
Be master of your brothers,
and may your mother's sons bow down to you.
Cursed be those who curse you,
and blessed be those who bless you."
30Jacob had scarcely left his father after Isaac had finished blessing him, when his brother Esau came back from his hunt. 31Then he too prepared a dish, and bringing it to his father, he said, "Let my father sit up and eat some of his son's game, that you may then give me your blessing." 32His father Isaac asked him, "Who are you?" He said, "I am your son, your firstborn son, Esau." 33Isaac trembled greatly. "Who was it, then," he asked, "that hunted game and brought it to me? I ate it all just before you came, and I blessed him. Now he is blessed!" 34As he heard his father's words, Esau burst into loud, bitter sobbing and said, "Father, bless me too!" 35When Isaac said, "Your brother came here by a ruse and carried off your blessing," 36Esau exclaimed, "He is well named Jacob, is he not! He has supplanted me* twice! First he took away my right as firstborn, and now he has taken away my blessing." Then he said, "Have you not saved a blessing for me?"e 37Isaac replied to Esau: "I have already appointed him your master, and I have assigned to him all his kindred as his servants; besides, I have sustained him with grain and wine. What then can I do for you, my son?" 38But Esau said to his father, "Have you only one blessing, father? Bless me too, father!" and Esau wept aloud.f 39His father Isaac said in response:
"See, far from the fertile earth
will be your dwelling;
far from the dew of the heavens above!g
40By your sword you will live,
and your brother you will serve;
But when you become restless,
you will throw off his yoke from your neck."h
41Esau bore a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. Esau said to himself, "Let the time of mourning for my father come, so that I may kill my brother Jacob."i 42When Rebekah got news of what her older son Esau had in mind, she summoned her younger son Jacob and said to him: "Listen! Your brother Esau intends to get his revenge by killing you. 43So now, my son, obey me: flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran, 44and stay with him a while until your brother's fury subsides— 45until your brother's anger against you subsides and he forgets what you did to him. Then I will send for you and bring you back. Why should I lose both of you in a single day?"
Jacob Sent to Laban. 46Rebekah said to Isaac: "I am disgusted with life because of the Hittite women. If Jacob also should marry a Hittite woman, a native of the land, like these women, why should I live?"j
* [27:1–45] The chapter, a literary masterpiece, is the third and climactic wresting away of the blessing of Esau. Rebekah manages the entire affair, using perhaps her privileged information about Jacob's status (25:23); Jacob's only qualm is that if his father discovers the ruse, he will receive a curse instead of a blessing (vv. 11–12). Isaac is passive as he was in chaps. 22 and 24. The deception is effected through clothing (Jacob wears Esau's clothing), which points ahead to a similar deception of a patriarch by means of clothing in the Joseph story (37:21–33). Such recurrent acts and scenes let the reader know a divine purpose is moving the story forward even though the human characters are unaware of it.
* [27:4] I may bless you: Isaac's blessing confers fertility (vv. 27–28) and dominion (v. 29). The "dew of heaven" is rain that produces grain and wine, two of the principal foodstuffs of the ancient Near East. The "fertility of the earth" may allude to oil, the third basic foodstuff. The full agricultural year may be implied here: the fall rains are followed by the grain harvests of the spring and the grape harvest of late summer, and then the olive harvest of the fall (cf. Dt 11:14; Ps 104:13–15).
* [27:36] He has supplanted me: in Hebrew, wayyaqebeni, a wordplay on the name Jacob, ya'aqob; see Jer 9:3 and Gn 25:26. There is also a play between the Hebrew words bekorah ("right of the firstborn") and berakah ("blessing").
c. [27:27] Gn 22:17–18; Heb 11:20.
d. [27:29] Gn 25:23; 49:8; Nm 24:9.

We all enjoy flowers, whether in a vase in our house or in our gardens. We enjoy the multitude of bright colors and the fragrant odor they give us. But there can be a dangerous aspect to some of our favorite plants. The list of poisonous plants is very long, but this will give you information about some of the more common flowers and ornamental plants.
Lilies are common as cut flowers and in landscaping. They are toxic to cats, but fortunately not to dogs or horses. All parts of the plant can cause kidney problems. A cat that walks through a garden of lilies, then ingests the pollen as it grooms its fur, can develop severe kidney problems.
Azaleas are toxic to dogs, cats, and horses. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, mental dullness, cardiovascular depression, collapse, and death. Even eating a few leaves can cause serious problems.
Bird of Paradise is among one of the most beautiful flowers, but it can be toxic to cats, dogs, and horses. The fruits and seeds can cause vomiting and drowsiness.
Begonias, especially the tubers, are toxic to dogs and cats. They can cause oral irritation. This can progress to swelling of the mouth, lips, and tongue, causing drooling, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing.
All parts of the castor bean plant are toxic, but the seeds contain the highest concentration of ricin, one of the most poisonous compounds known. This affects horses, cats, and dogs. Symptoms are mouth irritation, vomiting, diarrhea, kidney failure, seizures, and death. Signs usually start 12 to 48 hours after ingestion.
Chrysanthemums are toxic to horses, dogs, and cats. They can cause vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, weakness, inability to walk properly, and even skin problems.
Hibiscus can cause a loss of appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea in cats, dogs, or horses that ingest it.
Oleander is very toxic to dogs, cats, and horses. It has toxins that can cause a low heart rate, heart failure, and death. It is possible to also see vomiting and diarrhea.
There are several ornamental plants that contain cardiac glycosides. Plants such as clematis and foxglove can affect dogs, cats and horses to cause weakness, heart failure, drooling, and death.
There are hundreds of other plants that can be toxic. For more information on any toxic plants, consult with your veterinarian. Simple precautions can keep your pets safe and healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any questions, feel free to check our Contact Us page or Call Us at (956)900-1103 and/or email us at: email@example.com
What's the Difference between a Modern AC Vent Cover and a Linear Slot Diffuser?
What does a Linear Slot Diffuser do? What are Linear Slot Diffusers used for? What is a Slot Diffuser? What is a Linear Diffuser? What is a Linear Vent?
Linear Slot Diffusers are Vent Covers that are Linear and the "face" of a vent. The Air Conditioning unit distributes air throughout the home/building via the air duct tubing and delivers hot/cold air to each room that the vent is in, through the face of the vent, which is the Air Vent Cover or Linear Slot Diffuser.
Are Linear Slot Diffusers good?
Linear Slot Diffusers are the "face" of the vent, often referred to as a Vent Cover. Linear Slot Diffusers are good in the sense that they are aesthetically pleasing to look at and give a modern feel to any room they are in.
How do I choose a Linear Slot Diffuser?
For New Builds, we always recommend checking with your HVAC Contractor to confirm the CFM's each room will need and then selecting you your Linear Slot Diffusers based on the CFM's we have listed on our Brochures in the Links below the image. If it's a remodel and you want to go from an Old Vent Cover to a Linear Slot Diffuser, we recommend going based on the CFM's we have listed on our Brochures in the links below the image. First, remove your Old Vent Cover, measure the hole, and based on those measurements, find the size on the "Standard Linear Slot Diffuser" link, and then compare it to the "Linear Slot Diffusers" link just as is shown in the image below, you want to be as close as possible with the CFM's.
Standard Linear Slot Diffusers:
Linear Slot Diffusers:
What sizes do vent covers come in? What is the standard vent cover size?
Vent Covers, Grilles, Registers, Diffusers come in different sizes. The most Standard Sizes being 10" x 6" and 12" x 6" and 8" x 4" - You will find at least one of these in most homes. Standard Sized air vent covers can range from 6" x 4" all the way to 30" x 24" (which are all sizes we carry).
How do you measure vent covers? How do you measure vent replacement covers?
We recommend measuring the size of the air duct opening to make sure the AC Vent Cover neck will fit into the opening. Our product dimensions are categorized by the neck of the AC Vent Cover and not by the face of the AC Vent Cover. Below is a quick flyer of what to measure for on an AC Vent Cover after removing it.
What do I need to know to purchase one of your Diffusers?
To purchase one of our diffusers, all you need is to:
- Unscrew your Old Vent Cover
- Remove Old Vent Cover
- Measure duct (open hole) with a measuring tape
- Then based on those measurements you can order a Diffuser from our website: www.TexasBuildmartStore.com
How do I choose a Linear Slot Diffuser?
First, we'd recommend finding out the CFM's that the room the Linear Slot Diffusers will be in, and if using multiple Linear Slot Diffusers, then subtracting the CFM's according to how many Linear Slot Diffusers the room will have.
Second, we recommend selecting the style, will it be a single slot, double slot, or triple slot Linear Slot Diffuser. While Single Slots look nice and thin, they don't have the same CFM output that the larger 2 Slot and 3 Slot Diffusers do.
Third, ordering the Linear Slot Diffusers and installing it (we recommend having a professional installing it, but you can do it yourself).
Check out our catalogues to see which Vent Cover neck and face sizes would fit your duct opening:
Standard Linear Slot Diffusers: https://texasbuildmartstore.com/pages/standard-catalog
Linear Slot Diffusers: https://texasbuildmartstore.com/pages/linear-catalog
What is the difference between an AC Vent Cover and a Linear Slot Diffuser? What is the difference between Grille and Diffuser? What is the cover of a vent called?
There is no difference between Vents, Diffusers, Registers, Grilles. They are all just different names used by different industries for AC Vent Covers. AC Vent Covers are the "Face" of your AC Ducts which is the inside of the black box you see when you remove your AC Vent Covers. AC Vent Covers' main two functions are to cover the duct and direct the airflow as it enters the room.
How to install a Linear Slot Diffuser AC Vent Cover?
The method of installation is through the pre-drilled holes inside of the diffuser. Once the vent is in place, you will find them by opening the dampers (restricting the air temporarily). We recommend a drill with an extension to install the metal perforating screws that will be included in the vent. You will receive the Linear Slot Diffuser in the OPEN position. The black blades will be touching each other and is in the fully open position. The airflow will go through the sides. When you separate the black blades, you will be restricting the airflow. You can do that manually with your fingers, then you will see the predrill holes and with a drill and an extension, you will screw the 4 metal perforating screws through the sides. To bring it back to an OPEN position, like any other Linear Slot Diffuser you will need a tool, like a flat plastic spatula, knife, anything that is flat and rigid. You will need to insert the tool between the black blade and the white face of the diffuser and pressure it towards back to the center.
Here is a quick video demonstration: https://youtu.be/p6wwj-20tzE
What does CFM stand for?
CFM stands for Cubic Feet per Minute and is the most common way to measure airflow. We measure CFM assuming an Effective Velocity of 9.8 ft/s because it is the industry standard. Areas are measured in square units (like square feet), and Volumes are measured in cubic units (like cubic feet). Rooms are measured in Cubic feet and a room by industry standards should be cooled in under 4 minutes, so a single vent to a 1000 cubic foot room (10ft x 10ft x 10ft) should have at least one vent with a rating of at least 260 CFM or higher. However, we always recommend speaking with an HVAC expert or licensed professional first.
How much CFM for each Linear Slot Diffuser AC Vent?
To find the CFM rating of our Linear Slot Diffusers, you can find it by looking at the CFM column on our catalog links below (and which are displayed in the picture below:
Standard Linear Slot Diffusers: https://texasbuildmartstore.com/pages/standard-catalog
Linear Slot Diffusers: https://texasbuildmartstore.com/pages/linear-catalog
Do your Linear Slot Diffuser AC Vents come in different colors?
At the moment, we only offer our AC Vent Covers in standard ceiling white. We are able to keep our Modern AC Vent Covers reasonably priced is because we manufacture our Vent Covers in bulk, which is why we only offer our Vent Covers in standard ceiling white and which is why we don't do custom sizes.
Are your Linear Slot Diffuser AC Vents paintable?
Yes, while we only offer our AC Vent Covers in standard ceiling white, our vent covers are paintable. We don't suggest painting the vent covers because they are powder coated with an electrostatic paint which makes them easy to clean and very dust resistant. However, if you do choose to paint our vent covers, we recommend using an oil-based paint or epoxy.
Does it require a licensed installer, or can I install the Linear Slot Diffuser AC Vent myself?
No, it is not required. We recommend you look up your county and state guidelines to see if a permit is required for remodeling HVAC systems. We designed our Linear Slot Diffusers to be installed by the average homeowner because we believe in convenience. That is why we recommend watching our videos and looking up information online and/or seeking the console of a handyman or HVAC installer.
Here is a video demonstration: https://youtu.be/p6wwj-20tzE
Do you offer custom-sized Linear Slot Diffuser AC Vents?
At the moment, we unfortunately do not offer custom-sized Linear Slot Diffusers. To keep our AC Vent Covers at the highest quality and remain at an affordable price, we manufacture our models at scale - meaning we manufacture in bulk. That is another reason why we are always in stock and ready to ship.
How do your Linear Slot Diffuser AC Vents work?
Our Linear Slot Diffusers offer a Directional System with a 3-Way Air Flow Option that can be achieved by changing the direction of the dampers (louvers) by adjusting them with a plastic putty knife or tool with a flat surface. The Inner Mounting Installation Function and Design Avoids Exposing the Duct. The Electrostatic Paint offers a Smooth Finish which makes them Easy to Clean
Can your Linear Slot Diffuser AC Vents be installed on the floor?
Yes. Our Vent Covers were initially designed to be only for ceilings but after changes in design we have adjusted our designs so that they can be easily installed on Ceilings, Walls and Floors. If it fits, it sits - meaning if the duct opening is a 12x4 opening then it doesn't matter if it's on the ceiling, wall or floor, our AC Vent Cover can be installed.
Are your Linear Slot Diffuser AC Vents directional or can the airflow be adjusted?
Our Standard Linear Slot Diffusers offer a 90-degree directional airflow. Our Linear Slot Diffusers offer a 180-degree directional airflow. This directional airflow can be achieved by changing the direction of the dampers (louvers) by adjusting them with a plastic putty knife or tool with a flat surface.
Do your Linear Slot Diffuser AC Vents work as a return?
Yes, all our models can be used to serve as both a supply and as a return AC Vent. However, keep in mind that when being used as a Return vent, we recommend using a 0.8x multiplier on the listed CFM (i.e., listed CFM of 300 would be for the supply and that same vent cover if used as a return vent cover would have the CFM of 240) because it is harder to suck in air than it is to push the same amount of air.
How do your Linear Slot Diffuser AC Vents compare to a normal AC Vent?
- Provides a Contemporary Look, giving any room a more updated feel.
- Electrostatic Paint for a Smooth Finish makes our vents Easy to Clean.
- 100% Aluminum - No Corrosion - Very Sturdy and Resistant to Rust.
- Directional Dampers that not only diffuses the air but also adjusts the flow of air.
- Screws in from the side rather than the front which makes a more secure hold and gives it that fixture look.
Do you sale Plenum Boxes?
Yes, at the moment we only offer Plenum Boxes for our Linear Slot Diffusers (Linear Slot Diffusers - 1 Slot, Linear Slot Diffusers - 2 Slot, Linear Slot Diffusers - 3 Slot). We do NOT sell plenum boxes for our standard linear slot diffusers because usually when doing a retrofit, your will already have a plenum box.
Do I need a Plenum Box for your Linear Slot Diffusers AC Vents?
Yes, at the moment we only offer Plenum Boxes for our Linear Slot Diffusers:
Linear Slot Diffusers - 1 Slot
Linear Slot Diffusers - 2 Slot
Linear Slot Diffusers - 3 Slot
They are made of galvanized metal and insulated with a black foam for a superior R rating that is higher than anything in the market.
Do you sale Plenum Reducers?
No, we don't carry or sale Plenum Reducers. A Plenum Reducer is like a coupling between a larger Plenum connection to a smaller ac connection. You can purchase plenum reducers at your local Home Depot or Lowes. They aren't too expensive, and most associates will know what you are talking about.
Do Standard Linear Slot Diffuser AC Vents fit with an existing Air Duct?
Yes. Our standard linear slot diffusers were designed to be the quickest and easiest way to replace your current AC Vent Covers. You can do it yourself or have a handyman do it for you. Replacing your vents with Standard Linear Slot Diffusers is the more cost-effective option as well.
As stated above, we recommend measuring the size of the air duct opening to make sure the AC Vent Cover neck will fit into the opening. Our product dimensions are categorized by the neck of the AC Vent Cover and not by the face of the AC Vent Cover. Below is a quick flyer of what to measure for on an AC Vent Cover after removing it.
How did Texas Buildmart Store get started?

Vent covers, also known as register covers or grilles, are devices installed over the air vents in a building's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. They are designed to control the flow of air into a room and improve the overall energy efficiency of the HVAC system. Our vent covers have an adjustable damper which can be opened or closed to regulate the amount of airflow into a room. Our vent covers are used to regulate airflow in a building by controlling the amount of air that enters a room and improve energy efficiency of your HVAC system. The adjustable damper is what makes our vent cover a diffuser. When the damper is open, the vent cover allows air to flow freely into the room. When the damper is closed, the vent cover restricts airflow, reducing the amount of air that enters the room. This can help to prevent drafts, reduce noise, and improve the overall energy efficiency of the HVAC system by preventing heated or cooled air from flowing into unused or unoccupied areas of the building. Our vent covers come in a variety of standard sizes, they can be mounted on the wall, floor, or ceiling. Each vent cover is powder coated with a nice shiny finish to compliment the interior of any building and give it that nice, updated look.
Linear slot diffusers are a type of air diffuser used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. They are designed to distribute conditioned air evenly throughout a room or space. Linear slot diffusers typically consist of a long, narrow slot or opening that runs along the length of the diffuser. Air is distributed through this slot, and then spread out into the room by a series of slots which each contain deflectors (dampers) that are located within the diffuser slots. Linear slot diffusers are often used in commercial and industrial buildings, such as office buildings, schools, and hospitals, because of their ability to distribute large amounts of air over a wide area. They are also often used in buildings with high ceilings, such as airports, atriums and shopping centers. Linear slot diffusers also come in a variety of sizes and designs to match the specific needs of a building. They can be ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted, or floor-mounted and are made of 100% aluminum. Some can have adjustable slots to control the airflow direction or be equipped with deflectors (dampers) to control the airflow volume. They are commonly used in commercial and industrial buildings, as well as buildings with high ceilings. Ours come in a variety of sizes from 12" to 72" in 1-2-3 Slot Linear Diffusers.
All our vent covers are coated with a white, powder coated electrostatic paint. Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a dry powder and then cured under heat to form a protective layer on a surface. It is paint that is commonly used to coat metal surfaces, such as on automobiles, appliances, and industrial equipment.
There are several benefits of using powder coating, including:
Durability: Powder coating is highly durable and resistant to chipping, scratching, and fading. This makes it an ideal coating for items that will be exposed to the elements or will be subject to frequent use.
Weather resistance: Powder coating can withstand exposure to UV rays, rain, and other environmental factors, making it ideal for indoor and outdoor applications.
Environmentally friendly option: It can be recycled.
Chemical resistant: Powder coating is resistant to many chemicals such as acids, oils and other corrosive materials, making it ideal for even industrial applications.
Powder coating offers durability, rust-resistance, easy to clean, weather resistance, and chemical resistance. These benefits make powder coating a popular choice for a variety of applications in different industries.
Simple and modern-looking accents can add a sleek, contemporary look to any interior design. Some benefits of incorporating our modern air vent covers into a space include:
Versatility: Simple modern accents are often neutral in color and have clean lines, which makes them easy to pair with a wide range of design styles. They can be used to complement an existing design scheme or to add a modern touch to a more traditional space.
Minimalism: Simple modern accents often have a minimalist aesthetic, which can create a sense of calm and order in a space. This can be particularly beneficial in smaller spaces or in areas where a more cluttered look would be overwhelming.
Functionality: Simple modern accents often have a functional aspect, such as storage or lighting. This can help to maximize the functionality of a space while still maintaining a clean and modern look.
Timelessness: Simple modern accents tend to have a timeless quality, which makes them a good investment. They won't go out of style, and will maintain their clean and sleek look for many years.
Ease of maintenance: Simple modern accents are often easy to clean and maintain, which can be beneficial in high-traffic areas or spaces where regular cleaning is required.
Flexibility: Simple modern accents can be rearranged or replaced with ease, so you can change the look of your room without having to spend too much money on new furniture.
In summary, simple modern accents can add a sleek, contemporary look to any interior design, because they are versatile, minimalist, functional, timeless, easy to maintain, and flexible. These benefits make them a great option for any space looking to add a touch of modernity.
Accents, such as trim work, crown molding, and wainscoting, can add visual interest and character to a home, which can make it more appealing to potential buyers. Additionally, these types of upgrades can also increase the overall perceived value of a home. However, it's important to note that the value added will vary depending on the style and quality of the accents, as well as the specific market and location of the home. Furthermore, it's also worth noting that some accent updates may not be as appealing to all buyers, and therefore may not add as much value as other updates.
White is a popular color for interior and exterior paint because it is neutral, versatile and timeless. It is a classic color that goes with any decorating style and is easy to coordinate with other colors. Additionally, white can make a space feel larger and brighter by reflecting light. Furthermore, white is also a popular color for buildings because it helps to reduce heat absorption and can help to keep a building cool in warm climates. And lastly, it is also considered a "safe" color choice as it appeals to a wide range of people and is unlikely to be offensive to potential buyers.
Linear slot diffusers, on the other hand, are a type of air diffuser that are installed in the ceiling or wall of a room. They work by evenly distributing the air from the HVAC system throughout the room. They have a long, narrow slot that runs along the length of the diffuser and can be adjusted to control the amount of airflow. The slot design allows for a more even distribution of air throughout the room, and can also create a more pleasant and subtle airflow sound.

Romans 13 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. 8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Congressional leaders on Sunday showed no signs of emerging from their corners to resolve the next step in the financial crisis, with Democrats still talking about higher taxes on the wealthy and the Senate's top Republican suggesting that a crippling default on U.S. loans was possible unless there were significant cuts in government spending.
"It's a shame we have to use whatever leverage we have in Congress to get the president to deal with the biggest problem confronting our future, and that's our excessive spending," said Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
Last week's deal to avert the combination of end-of-year tax increases and spending cuts known as the "fiscal cliff" held income tax rates steady for 99 percent of Americans but left some other major pieces of business unresolved.
By late February or early March, the Treasury Department will run out of options to cover the nation's debts and could begin defaulting on government loans unless Congress raises the legal borrowing limit, or debt ceiling. Economists warn that a default could trigger a global recession.
Also looming are deep automatic spending cuts expected to take effect at the beginning of March that could further erase fragile gains in the U.S. economy. Then on March 27, the temporary measure that funds government activities expires, and congressional approval will be needed to keep the government running. It's one more chance to fight over spending
Lawmakers said debt talks will consume Congress in the coming weeks, likely delaying any consideration of an expected White House proposal on gun restrictions in the wake of the Connecticut school shooting.
Republicans say they are willing to raise the debt ceiling but insist any increase must be paired with significant savings from Medicare, Medicaid and other government benefit programs. President Barack Obama has said he's willing to consider spending cuts separately but won't bargain over the government's borrowing authority.
"One thing I will not compromise over is whether or not Congress should pay the tab for a bill they've already racked up," Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address.
Democrats said further tax increases for the wealthiest Americans were still possible as Congress looks to close the gap between revenues and expenditures. Democrats point out that Obama has already agreed to significant spending cuts, and that the latest deal only gets the nation to about half of the revenue it needs to resolve the red ink.
"Trust me, there are plenty of things within that tax code — these loopholes where people can park their money in some island offshore and not pay taxes. These are things that need to be closed. We can do that and use the money to reduce the deficit," said Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, the second-ranking Senate Democrat.
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California said she, too, wants to put "everything on the table from the standpoint of closing loopholes."
But McConnell bluntly declared that the "tax issue is over" after last week's agreement.
"We don't have this problem because we tax too little; we have it because we spend too much," McConnell said.
Making the rounds on the Sunday talk shows, McConnell was asked repeatedly whether Republicans were prepared to see the nation default on its spending obligations. McConnell said that wouldn't be necessary, so long as Obama agrees to the spending cuts.
But at one point, when asked by NBC's David Gregory whether the GOP strategy will be to hold the debt ceiling "ransom" in exchange for spending cuts, McConnell said it was a "shame we have to use whatever leverage we have" to get the president's attention.
"None of us like using situations like the sequester (automatic across-the-board spending cuts) or the debt ceiling or the operation of government to try to engage the president to deal with this," McConnell said.
Sen. Lindsay Graham, R-S.C., didn't dismiss the idea of allowing a partial shutdown of government until an agreement can be reached. Texas Sen. John Cornyn and other Republicans have floated the idea of a shutdown as a way of winning deeper spending cuts.
"I believe we need to raise the debt ceiling, but if we don't raise it without a plan to get out of debt, all of us should be fired," Graham said.
Maryland Rep. Chris Van Hollen, the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee, said the Republican strategy amounted to: "Give us what we want … or we're going to tank the United States economy."
Pelosi said she believes the president has enough authority under the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling without Congress' blessing. But the White House has said previously that it does not believe that the amendment — which says the "validity" of public debt shouldn't be questioned — gives the president that power.
McConnell spoke on NBC's "Meet the Press," ABC "This Week" and CBS "Face the Nation." Pelosi was on CBS. Durbin and Graham appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" and Van Hollen was interviewed on "Fox News Sunday."
