Vowels and Diphthongs in Brazilian Portuguese

In this lesson I explain how to pronounce consecutive vowel combinations in portuguese as diphthongs or in hiatus. I also review all oral and nasal vowels.

Also, are you sure about your "Saudade" pronunciation? I haven't a clue, but it sounded accented when you said it.

[languagenow]

Yes, the pronunciation I give of "saudade" is correct for most speakers of Brazilian Portuguese. What aspect were you curious about?

[JusteunMusicien]

Just the way it was said at around 7:33, it seems that the diphthong is stressed. But it could be me, I don't much about Portuguese. I think your videos are great by the way, which state do you teach in?

[languagenow]

Thanks, I live in Missouri. In Saudade, the penultimate syllable is tonic. I may have over-emphasized the diphthong just for illustrative purpose.

I think it could trip someone up when you pronounce the letter i like in Portuguese, but then saying other letters like in English. Like at 6:08 there was not very much distinction, as right before, you pronounced the i like in English. I followed you, but only because I've studied other languages.

[languagenow]

possibly, but that is why I added the subtitles on the screen at that partciular moment. It's hard to stay consistent.

Nossa, até eu (que tenho um sotaque carioca puxadíssimo) estou aprendendo...

colors are very complicated, even in your own language. Take a look at Wikipedia page for MAGENTA in the portuguese language.

To me, that is PINK (Rosa). But no, they call it magenta. I have no idea why. And in the table below the article, they call pink as "Fúchsia" WTF?

Quero te parabenizar pelas tuas aulas, principalmente pela dedicação.

Sou brasileiro e fico feliz com a tua iniciativa.

É um ótimo professor, também parece dominar bastante minha língua, siga assim!

Quando voltar ao Brasil visita meu estado, o Rio Grande do Sul, que fica no extremo do sul pais. E se puder experimente o "Chimarrão", nossa bebida típica, pesquise a respeito.

Um Abraço
