[aishawithkay]

im very confused about how you pronounce "o" as in 'the'. I always say it like "u".

is it a dialect difference or was I mistaken?

[MarcioNSantos]

Do you mean when the "o" in alone in a sentence like "o carro está aqui"? In this case you can pronounce it like "o" or "u", most part of the people say something like "u", but when we speak slowly we tend to say "o".

Sorry, maybe it's kind of confusing... it's difficult to explain it wrinting.

It was very useful, 'cause so far I haven't known it is informal in Brazil 'estou apaixonado por você.

next time don't use the mic so close!!, but thanks for the classes.

[StanleyChubbs]

Make Brazilian friends and speak with them, ask questions as well (if they speak it correctly), that's the best way to learn.
