Master the Brazilian accent! In this video, I give you three practical Portuguese pronunciation tips that you can apply right away to sound more like a Brazilian and less like a foreigner.

A great resource to learn more about the "NH" vs "Ñ" pronunciation difference is from the Tá Falado podcast: www.coerll.utexas.edu/brazilpod/tafalado/lesson.php?p=19 It's a very subtle difference--Brazilians will 100% understand you if you pronounce it like the "Ñ". There are probably some parts in Brazil that do pronounce it that way, but this video was meant to show the typical pronunciation you're likely to come across. Obrigado! :)

the details you share are priceless. I live in Rio and struggle with Portuguese and your explanations are the most elaborate I've heard and i learned so much with one video. Thanks obrigado

[@DecodingWordswithAndrew]

Glad to hear you found it helpful! Let me know if you have any questions!

[@pablovaz275]

You're a legend. As a Spanish speaker, the external view of both languages brings a lot of useful perspective to me. Keep up the good work.

Brilliant observation about the "NH" vs "Ñ". Thank you very much!

[@DecodingWordswithAndrew]

Thanks Indira, but I can't take credit for it--there are some great resources out there that do mention it, like the Tá Falado podcast and the amazing book Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar! :)

Unbelievable.....how good you are my friend at teaching Portuguese. It’s perfect....!!!!

[@JollyRogerVF84]

I only had two years of Spanish at school. Now I have a Brazilian girlfriend and I'm still stuck on the Spanish pronunciation of some words. But, my girlfriend has to learn German first and I will learn/ pick up Portuguese from her.

Awesome. I knew something nasal was happening with NH but wasn't sure* and Ive been in Brazil for 3 months 😂

[@DecodingWordswithAndrew]

Trust me, a lot of people never learn this!!! :)

[@DanceswithCoreans]

@DecodingWordswithAndrew Thanks a lot! I already hear a difference in how I say NH and I'm in Brazil so a diminutive is used every few words 😄

[@DecodingWordswithAndrew]

@@DanceswithCoreans awesome! :)
