"Agora mesmo" (ah-GOH-rah MEZ-moo) means "right now, immediately". Adding "mesmo" adds urgency to almost any phrase.
Useful for scheduling or deferring. "Um pouco mais tarde" means "a little later". The final "e" in "tarde" is barely pronounced.
The "j" sounds like the "s" in English "measure". A short, common word used constantly when asking about schedules, opening hours, and plans.
The final "ã" is a nasal vowel with no English equivalent. The sound is somewhere between "an" and "ung", all through the nose.
