You need to do the nasal sounds! That's just not right...

[SMV600]

[Manoaureal]

O cara é um troll, não percebem?

The dude is a troll...

[riadmarrakesh]

[lucca439]

[GalacticNegroid]

[melpascoa]

Um that's not Portuguese, sir. Stick to English

[BrancoPacheco]

Lol really? I'm Portuguese and I think this is fucking wrong! Use your nose. Juau... Use this: in Sound, read it like it's Jo''oun'' ;)

[YorianSevenfold]

Poor pronunciation. That not how one pronounce João.

[jibster94]

Jolago

[SosakeKunVodka]

joáo lol? kk

[rafaelnelvam]

ah parem de frescura, o som nasal tá certo. a única coisa diferente é o 'a' q podia ser um pouco mais fechado.

agora foda é sujeito q não sabe DIGITAR "learn" e "foreigner" querer corrigir pronúncia.

[vitormellonetto]

Actually the pronunciation is not correct. You should ask for a lusophone to record the word again. If you need help, just ask.

[FilipeFuckingGreat]

Ta com o nariz entupido porra?

[alangfp]

the "ã" is pronounced like the "u" in "duh" ~not kidding.

[anonops1980]

Its wrong.

[RodrigoSKJ]

I am from Brasil. I consider this close enough for a forigner, but not 100%.

[YorianSevenfold]

@RodrigoSKJ Forigner? FORIGNER? Is that a name or something?

[lucaspriest]

This is wrong.

The sound comes from your nose. When you speak "João" correctly, you feel a shake in your roof of mounth.

When I speak like you, the sound comes from throat.

Well, this sound doesn't exist in your language, so good trying.

To try to do this sound, you can do the sound that somepeople does when is having an orgasm.

[TheDanorte]

HAHAHA He speaks portuguese pretty well. João is a commun name in my country (Portugal)

[55runescaper]

its friggin jo-ahn-uhn

[Venom93]

My name is João and I do not approve of this message.

[ManoloKld]

Im brazilian and i can say the correrrect its:

Cara com uma mãe pobre or Joaw

[jpomsims]

Not at all

[joaopaulo454545]

not like

[MaxFerb]

WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG

I already said it's wrong?

[andreskizzo]

its acceptable for foreigners to pronounce it tis way, but for a portuguese its incorrect. ã and õ are nasalized vocals.

[corbilly]

Terrible! I'm native portuguese speaker. He's saying "juáu", instead of "joão". The correct sound for this name João (which is the portuguese for John) you can find here watch?v=9_frYv7TWjw

[plense777]

no hobbys??????

[buzinaocara]

Stick to your native language dude.

Portuguese words with õ or ã ask for nazal sounds, most foreigners like you never lern how to pronounce.

[RubensZanatta]

@buzinaocara

Eu só escuto Juau

I can only hear Juao

[iampink1]

@buzinaocara agreed.

[wattever333]

@buzinaocara the French can do it, they have the same nasal vowels, and more.

So a french spelling of the correct pronunciation would be:

jouaon.

[buzinaocara]

@wattever333 the french and the japanese can do it just fine that I've heard of. Probably couple other could do it, but it is a pretty rare pronunciation feature in most languages.

[wattever333]

@buzinaocara and maybe ethiopians. i had a chat with an ethiopian woman years ago and she said the reason they can learn other languages easily is because in their own language, they have about 100 phonems which cover lots of possibilities (open/closed vowels, nasal, guttural consonants like kh, french, english and latin R's, etc.)

[LorenzKay]

@buzinaocara WTF is a naZal sound? Is it a Nazi anal fart?

And what's it with "foreigners"? Everybody is a foreigner in relation to 200 other nationalities or 6000 other cultures. I knew you were brazuca. Ohhhh shit!

[Zmaster6030]

@LorenzKay

Portuguese =/= Brazuca

That was just a typo, everyone knows he meant "Nasal" sounds, and i'ts true that most foreigners (Relatively to Portugal/Brazil) can't say the words right and read Joao or Joam instead of João.

Besides, I don't understand why you're trying to defend someone that's wrong.

[German1184]

I speak Portuguese. And this video are far from perfect :(

[KhaledAlAsad]

@German1184 is*

[German1184]

@KhaledAlAsad thanks.

[911toothache]

@KhaledAlAsad i love your name.

[KhaledAlAsad]

@911toothache pretty cool, huh?

[sweeetFlav]

Pessoas com ingles como lingua mãe nao conseguem pronunciar o som "ã" ( [ɐ̃] )...

[LilMihuana]

I'm Brazillian and my name is João hahaha and that's not the correct way to pronounce it

[dfghj241]

ju AU? WHERE?

[daftcake]

that's retarded.. i bet you just imitated what google translate says for joão

[fulinamon]

I'm Brazillian, and that's not how you pronounce that.

It's more like Joo-uh-ooo

[aperezjr]

It should sound more like John since this is the Portuguese counterpart.

[lucasmobile17]

Então né, pronúncia errada e flames Brasil X Portugal nos comentários...

Mais um dia normal na Internet.

[leirevattimo]

The "ã" sound is like the American "aun", as in "aunt", for exemple. So "João" goes like "Jo-aun".

Nice try though.

[danielxdglaciuus]

"JOAU" ?

ahahahaha never

[DevilPt9]

@ferbrz @PortugalGP Portugal e Brasil são ambos países maravilhosos. O problema está nos Portugueses e nos Brasileiros. Eu sou Português, como prova que não há cá preferências. Vocês até podiam ser japoneses, ou australianos: vocês são arrogantes na mesma, e não é por serem naturais deste país ou daqueles que são assim, vocês são arrogantes porque são teimosos. Há pessoas dessas em todo o mundo. Guerras? Não. obrigado.

P.S: Tanta discussão sobre o Português, e falam em Inglês? Cambada... LOL

[leirevattimo]

@DevilPt9 Que deselegante!

[DevilPt9]

@leirevattimo deselegante por dizer verdades? não me parece :)

[Listradogamer]

JOAU! VEM CA JOAU!

[12sliptallica]

This is so wrong! I'm portuguese and that's COMPLETELY WRONG!

[AxlCake]

Godammit, i don't know why people think this guy's serious.... he takes a word and pronouce it on a nonsensical way for humorous purposes, dumbshits

[DevilPt9]

he said Joao and not João. See that's where english people fail.

[rossik]

close enough

[peahippolist]

It's not Brazillian, you, you

hueheuheuehauheuaehuehuoão

gibe moni plox

[PortugalGP]

I'm portuguese and I know brazillian can't speak portuguese...

[ferbrz]

@PortugalGP What we know, though, is to have a better economy than your stupid country, that even after stealing loads of Brazilian gold in the colonial times is still piss poor. Now go sleep in the barn with the other animals, envious loser. It's like English people saying that Americans are stupid and can't speak English, when Americans have a more powerful country and a larger population... You stupid little jealous loser LOL

[PortugalGP]

@ferbrz

2 words: Europe and euro!

[ferbrz]

@PortugalGP HAHAHAHAHAHA! Are you serious!? It just sounds like a joke. Do you think that being European makes you superior? Even IF it did, most brazilians have european roots so your point is moot. Second thing... The Euro is failing, maybe you should watch the news a little bit more carefully. The Real, on the other hand, is as strong as ever. We have free education in all levels, free healthcare, free opticians, free dental care, loads of benefits, and the economy is still strong. You loser!

[PortugalGP]

@ferbrz

Yeah, unsustainable welfare state features... see you in 10 years and you'll have the same problems...

I hate it when you monopolise the portuguese language. It's called portuguese for a reason (it's from portugal, man), but nevertheless, you keep on insisting that it is yours and you even force the entire CPLP to sign an ortographic agreement so that every country writes according to your language variant.

Finally, i'm sick of this discussion, rather childish, actually...

[ferbrz]

@PortugalGP It is not unsustainable, it's been like this for years and it's getting better. Certainly better than what you have in Portugal. Do you know what I hate? How you think that just because it's called Portuguese, everybody should talk like you guys. No, thanks. We changed it to make it better, deal with it. And another thing, we didn't force anybody to agree to our changes, it was mutual and you've got your government to blame if you don't like it. I'm also sick, but of your ignorance.

[PortugalGP]

@ferbrz I'm rather fed up with your condescendence... like Brazil is the best in the several domains of social life... awful crime rates, still a developing country according to the UN's standards, amazonic rainforest destruction, corruption in so many ways, ghettos in Rio de Janeiro, especially Complexo do Alemão, let alone child mortality indexes and awful results in Gini's coefficient...

You made Portuguese better? "Time" (instead of equipa) and other anglicanisms prove otherwise...

[ferbrz]

@PortugalGP You're such a hypocrite. My country has problems because you intelligent portuguese people brought slavery over there, what did you expect to turn out? You're talking about the oldest brazilian cities, ruled by Portuguese people back then, newest towns are as good or better than ones in Europe. If there's a problem with brazilian society, it is because YOUR country left a mess for us to clean. We're a bigger nation, but we're doing it. In half a century, you'll wish you were there.

[PortugalGP]

@ferbrz We're in trouble as well and I don't blame the Spanish... nor does the US blame England for all their problems...

That thing happen centuries ago, and you think that's the underlying reason for all of Brazil's issues?? Sod off, will you?

[ferbrz]

@PortugalGP You stupid prick, no, we tortured and transported people from Africa, treated them like crap, didn't pay them anything, didn't give them clothes, made them work hard for hours and hours, then we sold their children to have the same fate, didn't give them education... We brought millions of them. OH WAIT! NO THAT WAS THE PORTUGUESE! And we couldn't just kill them, so they multiplied and they didn't know what to do and became criminals, living in poverty. YOU STUPID! Just shut up.

[ferbrz]

@PortugalGP If you're negating your country's responsibility for the poverty of MAINLY BLACK PEOPLE in my country, especially those in the favelas of Rio, the majority descendants of previous slaves during Portuguese colonisation, then don't you dare talk to me. I refuse to discuss with somebody that cannot admit to the damaging consequences of your nation's irresponsibility. Go screw yourself, dirty loser. Your country stole our resources and left us the mess, don't you dare say we're bad, ass.

[PortugalGP]

@ferbrz

So, if you ever talk to an 18-year-old german dude, you'll say he is to blame for the holocaust... yeah right...

Your argument is flawed, leave it...

[ferbrz]

@PortugalGP The difference is, you didn't kill the millions of slaves you brought there, you left them there to multiply and become criminals. How do you think the favelas came out to be? Who do you think live there? There are people there and throughout Brazil who are 2nd generation descendants from slaves, brought to Brazil by Portuguese people. Don't you ever use the holocaust to justify your stupidity, that's going too far. You clearly show how demented you are with that comparison.

[PortugalGP]

@ferbrz

I have better things to do than reply to your comments... live in your dellusions, I'll live in mine...

[ferbrz]

@PortugalGP Have you? I don't think so. Since you're clearly here trying to defend your country when it was the reason why we have issues. Go read this, from an official source, and then learn about history instead of spewing this crap you think makes you look superior. You're just a total lunatic. You have to remove the spaces between the w as youtube don't allow URLs in comments:

w w w.ipea.gov.br/sites/000/2/livr­os/Livro_desigualdadesraciais.­pdf

[12sliptallica]

@ferbrz @PortugalGP Why are you two fighting?! Portugal and Brazil should be united nations! We should not be fighting over who's better! Both countries are absolutely beautiful in their own way! I always thought that this fight was over since long ago. I am completely disappointed! You guys should be ashamed!

[ferbrz]

@PortugalGP Another thing, since comments are limited... We had immigrants from all over the world, including slaves, which were brought by the Portuguese. This has made what Brazilian Portuguese is, a language diversified by the influence of immigration, which you were responsible for. Go get a grip! Complaining that we're changing your language when we're multiculturally complex is just being a complete ass. Stop arguing, I hate Portuguese people who don't feel responsible for our issues.

[leirevattimo]

@PortugalGP So Brazilians speak what? Tupi? Get back to school, bro.

[Pyxine]

JWOWW. J-WOWW. JWOWW.



[Mw3ProII]

[TombestraideR2]

[EnzoBernardes]

i am brazilian and my cousin is named João. The pronounce is very similar to the correct but you need more training to get the right accent and speak. the bad thing is that you are teaching wrong for people.

[eclipseturbo92]

Great effort, but no. You need to get a Brazilian to pronounce it.

[niroCAP]

[Zmaster6030]

Your saying "Joao" not "João" the "~" makes it more nasal, supposedly something like "Jo-an-oo"

[thaalescosta]

not right, but close

[Staward]

He can't pronounce it.

His "ã" is too open, it has a more nasal sound.

[ElleElastic]

Okay, so you guys are saying this is wrong, huh? Can anyone tell me how it's really pronounced?

[KaiserTota]

@ElleElastic Search youtube for "Pronounce João" and you will get a movie with Joao Ruas in the title. The girl in that movie pronounces João correctly.

[HiroshiApenas]

[IIvveennss]

The correct way is: Jo-waum

[GabyLilith]

That's is an EPIC FAIL! I am Brazilian too, and this pronunciation is sooo wrong.

[KhaledAlAsad]

I'm Brazilian, and I think you need to suicide, I can imagine you saying 'Jew-wow' in the midle of São Paulo, and people going WTF.

[RollinGoodRs]

[HanaYooHoo6]

[JohnnyDeppfangurl]

@RoXaSPsY I think that's the point of the videos.To pronounce wrong ALL of the words/names XD

[threeheadmunsta]

@RoXaSPsY ... you're fucking dumb, he's saying it in portuguese (from portugal) and not your semi portuguese language, shut up

[RoXaSPsY]

@threeheadmunsta are you portuguese or brazilian to say that to me?

[otaviomiguelad]

@threeheadmunsta Um, it would be wrong in portuguese portugal too. It's spelt "Joan"

[pssmferrari]

@threeheadmunsta such a lovely person aren't you?

[TheTiagoFire]

@RoXaSPsY YEA ME TOO :D so tem brasileiro aki '_____'

[JaPkCubo]

@MrMustayne esse não é zoação. Perceba que os que são zoação são do pronunciationmanual, esse é do pronunciationbook. Herp derp?

[yo100ish]

@RoXaSPsY Cool your anthem is pretty sweet

[ioquot]

That's not how you say it.

[13MSILVA]

It's wrong

you close the "a" so it sounds Ju-ão

[Pcube96]

João its a Portuguese name

[derpolcu]

Sorry, that's wrong. I'm Brazilian, and the "a" pronunciation is too open.

[Fonseca9001]

I'm portuguese and my name is João. This is not how you pronounce it correctly.

[SlimAyDee]

So someone tell me how this is actually pronounced? I've been wondering.

[EdwardLaiPY]

in malay> mean>jual {[sell]

[benos]

Jew owl.

[devixdesign]

This is all wrong, the "ão" is not like that.

[KarimRhadfi]

JWOWW ?

[Loqquer]

Assuming this is a spanish name, wouldn't it be pronounced with an "H" sound in the beggining, as "J" in spanish is pronounced as "H" in English?

[JeguePerneta]

@Loqquer It's actually a potuguese name, the "J" is pronounced like in "Jesus", but the "ão" is pronounced in a different way.

[eszettfromhell]

This nonsense is high on Google, hence the massive number of views. Jew-ow, needless to say, isn't really how you say João

[NoobTheEpic]

its Hoao

[JeguePerneta]

@NoobTheEpic No I'ts not

[JeguePerneta]

Thats not how you say João

[Jpzinho007]

Fuck. My name is joão D:

[GustavoMorph22]

You're doing it wrong.

[TheGodoia]

@GustavoMorph22 I AM PORTUGUESE. THE NAME "JOÃO" IS ALSO PORTUGUESE AND IT IS WELL PRONOUNCED. HELL YEAH!

[GustavoMorph22]

@TheGodoia Eu sou brasileiro e pelo menos aqui não é pronunciado sem o ã.

[TheShad0w3735]

[Roksonixx]

Jo - what the fuck is that squiggly line - oh ?

[RubenMGMatos]

jew wow

[romehalt]

That's not even close to the correct pronounciation. The correct way to say it is "João".
