In my opinion, I would say that Brazilian speakers of English saying things differently than native English speakers isn't part of a mistake, so it's just a different way how Brazilian speakers express things. But still, I can totally understand them.

[@leo1406]

It’s so interesting to have your mother language being somehow “analyzed” by someone who speaks another language. I would say it’s fascinating and I love how Brazilian Portuguese intonations sound to your ears and how beautiful you said it sounds. I believe I was able to overcome those common mistakes, specially after moving to the U.S., but I still struggle sometimes if I have to identify “man” and “ men” for example, in normal conversations. Actually I don’t even think about it because the context makes everything clear, but if I have to identify the sound when it’s not being exaggerated, I might struggle a bit. Overall I feel pretty confident and I loooooove talking about accents and I had a great time watching it =)

This video is really deep. It is not like the others. She knows a lot about brazilian portuguese, like the stress on the words, the pronounciation of U/W instead of L... very good, one of the best videos! Very useful tips.

[@andrecarvalho9637]

Hi Hadar, Brazilian Portuguese does not have the schwa sound the same way as in english, but instead it does occur with the vowel "a" at the end of a word when the stress is not on the last syllable. We also have the concept of "reduced vowels" at the end of words for the vowel "e" and "o". That is one of the reasons why Spanish speakers can't understand Portuguese very well. So instead of pronouncing the vowel at the end using its own sound, Brazilian portuguese speakers reduce the vowel making the reduced "e", sounds like "i" and the reduced "o", sounds like "u". Again, we only do that when the stress is not on the last syllable.

You nailed it - I'm Brazilian and it took me a long time to realize that head and had don't sound the same. The difference between the two simply didn't register and I was surprised after many years of study when a native pointed out to me that my pronunciation wasn't that clear. How could the difference between certain vowel sounds go unnoticed for so many years? Shit and sheet. Bitch and beach. Fill and Feel. Bed and bad. After realizing it, initially I was vexed, then mad, then frustrated before I decided to do the right thing : working towards correcting those mistakes. Better late than never. And yes..... awareness is the key to success.

[@Sarablueunicorn]

actually the difference between 'head' and 'had or 'pen' and 'pan's is not so noticeable in American english. I recently read an article about accents and pronunciation with the title 'it's a pen not a 'pin''. Basically, addressing that southern accent american speakers pronunciates 'pen' as 'pin', while the "dictionary correct pronunciation" claims the way 'pen' should be pronounced sounds almost the same as 'pan'. So yeah. As for sheet/shit there's a more pronounced difference.

[@mottahead6464]

@@Sarablueunicorn Your comment made feel better about all those years of ignorance, yet I think you're comparing apples and oranges : southern accents tend to sound way different than the standard American accent.

[@Sarablueunicorn]

@@mottahead6464 That was the point of all article. English language is made of accents and it's unfair to state that some are more standard or more correct than others. The author claims that 'pen' and 'pan' sound basically the same in standard american english, while southern accent (for example) makes 'pen' sound like 'pin'. There's really not a big difference between these one sylabble words pen/pan , men/man, etc in American english. As a non native I wouldn't sweat much about it unless you are speaking with British english speakers.

[@mottahead6464]

@@Sarablueunicorn Ok, I get. You do have a point - yet I believe that we non-natives should do our best to tone down our foreign accents, not because they're not cool or un-American but due to the fact that it helps making our speech more understandable. I also believe that with time and exposure, even if our foreign accents are still evident, they become less of a burden to natives trying to understand whatever it is that we're trying to say.

[@jonatasdomingos1252]

Exactly. You have to be patient with yourself and allow your ears to get used to the nuances of a new language. Having any language as your second, you end up realising the accent of your first language doesn't go away completely on its own, and in most cases it never will, and that's okay. Even if you're living with the natives of your second language, in their environment, it may take 2 generations for all the nuances your first language accent to go away in your family. If you hear Jennifer Lopez, Rosie Perez they sound Latina, specifically Puerto Rican. They were both born in the US and both still have an heritage accent.

@Carlos Monteiro a dica que eu posso te dar e foi uma que eu usei quando aprendia inglês é consumir muita mídia brasileira. nós somos conhecidos por nossas ótimas novelas, acho que se você procurar na internet ou KZbin encontrará várias, e também ouvir bastante da música irá te ajudar a entender um pouco da nossa pronúncia. outra dica que te dou é que foque em uma região do país e se concentre no jeito que eles falam pois o Brasil tem vários sotaques diferentes por todo país e isso pode ser confuso para quem está aprendendo

[@raulinolucas1371]

Ver vídeos, filmes, novelas é bem legal para você se acostumar com o "listening". Ver vídeos de KZbinrs brasileiros as vezes pode ser bem desafiador, porque a maioria fala muito muito rápido, com muitas mudanças de entonação, o que pode dificultar o entendimento. Agora, ouvir músicas é algo que ajuda muito mesmo no aprendizado de qualquer língua. Você pode escolher as músicas mais lentas, pegar as letras na internet, e ouvir bem atentamente, cantar junto, é bem prazeroso esse jeito de aprender. Fiz isso enquanto aprendia inglês e foi o que mais me ajudou. É legal também porque você aprende expressões, slangs... quanto mais você imergir na cultura toda, mais natural o som vai ser para você, e você passará a ouvir as diferenças que antes não ouvia, e conseguir fazer os sons que antes pareciam difíceis (como os nasais "não", "cão"..). Falar sozinho o tempo todo também é ótimo!! :)

[@jvandystadt]

Bravo Hadar! Nailed every tip with pinpoint precision. Here's some other difficulties many Brazilians face with English: 1) The RL sound as in woRLd is most commonly pronounced as R, so "woRLd" becomes "woRd". 2) Another one is the SM sound in the end of a word like touriSM and traditionaliSM - Brazilians tend to add a E vowel either after or before the M, so tourism may sound "tourisME" or "tourisIM". 3) The TION sound at the end of some words, like naTION ou civilizaTION, will most likely be pronounced as something like SHOWN: naSHOWN, transformaSHOWN. Google the song "Rebolation" by Parangolé and you'll hear that perfectly. 4) The word "love" is very frequently pronounced as "lawve" by many Brazilians. "Amor I LAWVE you" by Marisa Monte, a famous song with that example. 5) And last but not least, the word SQUIRREL is a challenge to many Brazilians, wether they're fluent in English or not. You'll hear many versions of that word, but one of the most common ones is "squeerreal" or something like that. Cheers Hadar, and keep up the outstanding work.

Hi, there! I’m completely blown away by your understanding of my native language, even though it’s not yours, that allows your to understand why so many of us speak English the particular way we do, even though that’s not your mother language, either. I’m engaged to a Canadian, and he always points out these 10 bullets you listed. I guess the 10th one is the biggest giveaway that we are Brazilians. It’s sooo recognizable, and amusing, because most of us pronounce all the English words as if they were in Portuguese. Very distinguishable, and kinda cute, too (though confusing for non-native us 😬). This is precisely how we recognize one another when we’re overseas haha. I’ve been working on my English for about 12 years now, and my best advice is to record yourself - I’d do it since my Basic 1 lessons - right after recording a native speaker’s pronunciation. Compare. Be aware of the differences in both pronunciations. Repeat trying to sound closer to what you hear. It’s a long process, but it pays off, and it gets easier in time. I absolutely loved this video. Sent it to fiancée. All the best, and keep posting! :) abraço! Dear God, you’re impressive.

I was looking for this comment. Also, some words are pronounced the same, like in sheep and ship, bitch and beach.

[@AlvesInfinito]

I forgot the sound H that doesn't exist in Portuguese. This makes confusion between hungry and angry. But it is easily corrected in the beginning, when we start learning.

[@pauloandrade7371]

@@AlvesInfinito what "h" sound problem? "Hungry" and "angry" are very different, no problem here for a european portuguese speaker. Even reading as they were portuguese words, the pronounciation will be very similar to the english one.

[@Triattt]

@@pauloandrade7371 We do have a problem with the h sound. A better example would be "ad" and "had". Most speakers I know would ignore the "h" and read it the same. We don't have any sound that comes from the throat with the exception of our hard "r" (rato) and maybe I just wasn't paying attention in school, but I don't recall much emphasis given on the pronunciation of "h" words.

[@ThePraQNome]

What about the vowels sounds like in BAD and BED ? I've seen some Portuguese making that mistake and more. It seems to me that the only ones that didn't aply to european Portuguese is the T/D and adding a vowel at end of a word, like "CATy" as Brazilians sometimes do.

[@sidneyfrattinijr.9700]

This was one of the most throughout explanations I’ve ever seen. Thank you very much! Pronouncing the vowels correctly is quite challenging and I think the main reason of miscommunication.

Great video! You seem to be doing the “dark L” at the end of “Rafael” (the exact opposite of the mistake Brazilians would do in english!), but otherwise you nailed other portuguese sounds :)

[@klauswh]

Great tips, Hadar! I'm Brazilian and the only reason why I can avoid those mistakes is that I had a terrific teacher who made sure that we got the pronunciation right: not only having a good pronunciation is important to make yourself understood, but also because it allows you to understand native speakers. For example, a Brazilian who says "catchy" instead of "cat" usually can't understand when someone pronounces the word "cat" correctly. Congratulations for this amazing video!

[@carmomeire5461]

you are always amazing. I speak Brazilian Portuguese from Sao Paulo and my English teachers used to say "I had a strong Brazilian Portuguese accent" because of melody 😀

Hadar, you´re so awesome! I´m an English teacher from Brazil, and I can´t stress how accurate your observations of how Brazilians speak English are. Keep up this great work of yours!

[@benpilotti]

We actually have the soft English "r" sound in words like "argola" (ring), "anoitecer" (dusk) and "ar" (air). Countryside folks like me usually extend the r sound by a lot, so you can easily hear us saying "porrrrrta" (door) every time! Haha

[@pedros1747]

As an english teacher and a native speaker of portuguese, I can say your video was totally on point. I have noticed and focused on all those mispronunciation patterns for a long time . Once students and teachers are able to reduce those, they get on a completely different level. I`m really impressed with your awareness of both languages. It`s something that is hard to come by. Thanks for the video.

[@dhavalchauhan4869]

I’m always confused when Brazilian makes mistake in R and H. I have a friend from Minas who speaks like that. For example, Rospital, Rusky, Hoom, Rong Kong..

[@drogadepc]

It's because the "h" in this words sounds like the portuguese "rr". Sometimes portuguese words with a single "r" are also pronounced that way.

[@leandroatreides]

That's because in Brazilian Portuguese every "r" in the beginning of a word or a double "rr" sounds like the English "h" as in "happy."

[@Lucas66393]

You wrong in one thing. In portuguese we didnt say Rospital lile you said, but we say "Ospital". The H in portuguese is mute, like in the word helicopter that we spell "Elicóptero" without the RR sound of the english H

[@luanrafael6846]

I'm a Brazilian English teacher that loves phonetics, and I think you´re suggestions are just perfect. On the vocalisation of the L sound, I usually tell my students to do it like the Portuguese (people from Portugal) do, because they pronounce the L at the end of a syllable just like English speakers do. One more problem Brazilians may have with English pronunciation is the aspirated T. For example, they tend to say two and chew the same way, because that's the closest thing we have to aspiration in Portuguese. What I do is to ask them to say Portuguse words like "tudo" with a thick American/English/German accent, and notice the difference. PS: As someone called Rafael myself, I think your pronunciation right on target. (Some people say it softly like the English H, some do it more strongly like something closer to the French R. Sometimes the same person says it both ways depending on their mood.)

[@pu5epx]

Brazilians that learn Latin get to know the "æ" sound found in "had", "sad", etc.

[@abacaxi.maldoso]

I pronounce 'æ" as we pronounce "é"

[@MarcusMorro]

This is the first video I saw explaining not only the mistakes that we Brazilians made, but also WHY we made them. Even in Brazil, people just say "your pronunciation is wrong, that's the correct way and don't think about it". As you said, Hader, becoming aware of these things is very important in correcting mistakes. Thank you for your videos.

[@feliperamedeiros]

Rafael is right, but here we don't ever hear that L sound at the end, it's pure 'W' like you said, and the H sound of R is very subtle, you can say Rafael with your tongue completely still ;)

[@hadar.shemesh]

🤙🤙🤙 great tip!!

[@tvbrbrasil4743]

I'm brazilian and I liked this video. Your explanation was very iluminating. The portuguese is more phonetic than english. However, I think that Portuguese natives are the ones who speak American English best. We have more sounds in our leanguage and therefore we are able to speak English with less accent than Americans when they speak Portuguese for example. Nice work! Thans for this video!
