  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I have the right idea somewhat, so when an english word ends with "- ence" its translated to "- ência" and when an english word ends with "- tion" it translates to "-ção" ? :)

    I enjoy watching these videos :)

  • @racygal427 That is correct :) Obrigada for your comment. I am glad that the videos are helping you.

  • Obrigada for this pattern lesson!!! Do you have a video on when to pronounce the letter "T" as an English "CH" sound and when it is pronounced as a "regular English 'T'" sound? I would appreciate your help! And again, thank you for these lessons. They are so helpful.

  • @MissEvaMorales01 Obrigada! I don't have a lesson about the pronunciation of the T. I started creating the lesson and never finished. Will get back to it! Stay tuned :)

  • @StreetSmartBrazil Thanks! I will look out for it. Also, do you have a video on the letter "D" and when it is pronounced as an English letter D sound and when it is pronounced as an English letter "J" sound...like the second D in the word "saudade?" I'm sorry if I'm pestering, I'm just so excited to learn, and your videos are so fun and easy to understand. Obrigada :-D

  • @MissEvaMorales01 I will work on a video about that, too. Here is a rule of thumb: when the TE and the DE are the last syllable of the word and there is not an accent on the "e', their sound varies in different regions in Brazil and it is very common to hear them as "chee" and "gee". Examples are saudade, cidade, estudante.

  • @brownpridehomes Portuguese and Spanish are very similar in writing, but very different in how they sound.
