Like this:In European Portuguese, this letter is always followed by a “u”. I am working on them =)Start learning European Portuguese today with this free course. I like the way it sounds and it is very closely related to Portuguese, that is true. I am an experienced teacher with years of training and my goal is to deliver the best teaching service to my students. It will sound exactly like the “e” in “enthusiasm”. For some people, it might be easier to know that it has a similar sound to the “j” guttural in Spanish, like in “Juego”, for example.At the end of the word or alone in the middle of a word, it has a soft pronunciation, like in “Rome” or “Maryann”, although in Portuguese you can hear it more than in English. If this constellation of letters is followed by an “i” or an “e” that are not accentuated, then the letter should be read as a “k” or like the “c” in “cosmetics”. When we have the “e” at the end of the word or between two consonants in the non-stressed syllable, we often use the reduced pronunciation.The sound is very reduced or almost non-existent. In a few words, they can also sound reduced when they are in between two consonants in a non-stressed syllable. As we can see, when the syllable is not stressed the “o” also sounds like “u”.

I learned Portuguese in Brazil a few years ago and realize after that there quite a difference with the European Portuguese.Thank you for your comment. I've only just started and am really impressed.I think a section for complete beginners who intend to travel to Portugal is a wonderful Idea You might consider adding a section of vocabulary , with flash card games and the like.Falo um pouco português e de vagar por favor have saved me many times.This is great. I am in love with PORTUGAL and have my ticket bought to return in April. Thank you for lighting a fire with an informative and great piece of education.Thank you so much for your comment That was really nice, it makes me even more motivated to teach my beautiful language!

Note that you can use bom dia, boa tarde, and boa noite to say goodbye as well. Also, in the post you just read you have some audios for pronunciation, if you click the arrows in front of the words maybe you saw them already, but just in case you haven’t…Thank you very much, Mia. However, not everything can be that simple, right? As a hard “r”, at the beginning of a word or when it has another “r” attached to it, as in “carro”.This sound is very guttural, you make it with your throat and it does not really have an equivalent in English (at least that I know of). This happens when this consonant is at the end of a word and the following word does not start with a vowel sound or when the “s” is between a vowel and a consonant, as in “gostar” (to like).Normally pronounced as a normal “z”, this letter can also sound like a “sh” if placed at the end of the word and the word does not precede another one starting with a vowel, in which case the “z” is read like a normal “z” in “zebra”.The reason I put this letter at the end, is because I have some bad news about it. Thank you so much for your feedback =)You have been so very helpful. I was so impressed with your learning lab and how fun you make your videos that I had to sign up and try this.I think Practice Portuguese is amazing, it is so rich in content and extensive yet so simple to use with the easy units leading up to more complex stuff. The “u” is then not read and the “g” becomes a hard “g”.Normally this sound is not pronounced, unless it is together with an “l” or an “n”, in which case it will seem to sound a bit like a “y”.This consonant always sounds soft in Portuguese, like the “g” in “giant”.These consonants sound pretty much the same as in English, except when at the end of the word.
