I struggle to pronounce Cabeleireiro and the name of a village outside Paderne Ameijoafas, Thanks

Great video as always, wondering why you are using a large bed as your background though 🙂

I have been working at my Portuguese for a while and while my tutor (my husband) is extremely particular about my pronunciation, your tips for the "a" and "r" are going to make me sound more like a true Portuguesa! Thanks!

Oh-buh-dee-gah-doo Liz! Lots of great pointers!

Thanks Liz,
I have finally arrived in Portugal and while I still freeze when when I want to say something, when the words do come out, people remark on the 'correctness' of my pronunciation. When I was starting out, I watched your video on the vowel sounds and it helped me so much. This video has confirmed I have gotten the other sounds correct. Bless you!!

I'm 58 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future with gas and food prices rising every day. Our savings have decreased with the cost of living in the stratosphere, we are finding it impossible to replace it. We can move on, but I can't go on. My condolences to those who retire in this crisis, 40 years without stopping just because a rogue system takes everything it worked for

Muito Obrigada Liz I am flying for my first time to Portugal next week my girlfriend is Portugies but I speak American englisch..i have a few things in my head but I believe this will be a learning by hearing and doing experience.

Filha, Filho!!!! Still working on that one!

Great quick video for beginners, crystal clear. I know its not the topic, but where do Brits stand on "often"? Like if a Portuguese speaker was perplexed why some dont pronounce the T? I have an ambiguous American accent and have never pronounced the T in often and I now know why. I don't pronounce the T in "fasten" "listen" "soften" and they dropped the T sound in the strictest sense following the same evolutionary rule as often, as strict as French dropping half their final consonant sounds….

You stressed the wrong syllable in hotel in Portuguese. Like most words endings on -L it should be oxítono: ho-TEL.

Thank you dear teacher .

Very helpful!! Muito Obrigado!!🥳

The ends of words are sometimes sliced off, e.g. obrigad'

Olá Liz e todo o pessoal! Eu estou de férias em Lisboa, mas ainda não te vi na rua, Liz 😉 . Just today I have encountered two real beauties: excecional – like our exceptional but just try it with the first e dropped and you'll see – and (take a deep breath) desassossego, as in Fernando Pessoa's Livro do Desassossego. Gulp! Where is the stressed syllable in that?! There are even more 's' than in Mississippi!

I've heard pronunciation is different in the azores… Are you familiar with the differences?

When I try reading Portuguese sentences out loud and fast, I seem to do pretty well with the vowels, thanks to hours of practice. What remains difficult is what I call “nasal clusters”—something like ‘CoM uM Comboio’ which sounds like “cong-oong-comBOI-oo”. So I practice them, making sure the connections are smooth and understandable.

Liz, that’s even helpful for German. Just the R sound is much different. So interesting 😊👍🙏

4:48 – English speakers do know how to say the "nh", it's the same as the "gn" in lasagna. 😉

The word I have the most difficulty with is "livraria". I can manage a single tapped r pretty well, but when it comes to two tapped r's in succession, my tongue just can't keep up!🤣

I have an uncommon Scottish island dialect accent, and then a Engishised version for the rest of the world, so I think maybe a wider range of things to draw on that helped – or maybe my mistakes were just not obviously sounding like English ones. My pronunciation issues came with "tongue twister" words, where you have to rapid fire through combinations of sounds that are less usual to you. Cabeleireiro and Analfabetizações i remember being especially easy to mash up.

Thaaaank you so much for these wonderful lessons, Liz! I am moving to Portugal in a month's time, from South Africa and I'm finding these lessons so useful 😍 Obrigada Liz! ❤‍🔥💓❤‍🔥

Muitos ingleses não sabem pronunciar grande marcas internacionais como Adidas ou Porsche e outras

I would like to say to everyone that is trying to improve their pronunciation that the Portuguese people in general have great appreciation for any foreigner that tires to learn Portuguese. We do acknowledge that it's a small country and the effort doesn't go unnoticed. If you try Portuguese and the answer comes in English it isn't a judgement on your skills, usually it's people understanding your are a foreigner and trying to be helpful.

Muito bom. pronúncia mais difícil para mim é o duplo r. Tens video sobre isto também?

The wife tried to teach me the word refrigerator yesterday and I just couldn't couldn't stop laughing! Your content is awesome and I can't wait to actually try you teachings full-time.

I left school at 14 and can speak very good English but still struggling to teach my own children..
I plan to move in 5 years and thank you for helping me feel I will be able to pick this all up!
Much peace and respect

At last! I’ve been waiting for this. The first building block. Haven’t known until now how to pronounce certain letters.

The course is amazing. I started 13 days ago and practice every day between 30 and 60 minutes and my understanding and pronunciation have improved tremendously!

I've only just learnt that em is pronounced ime. So its amazing that when I asked if 'this is the right platform for Santarém', I got an intelligent answer. And now I have to remember to apply it to other words.

I always have a problem with e and é

I’m Brazilian living in Portugal. Although I’m Portuguese Teacher, sometimes it’s difficult for me to pronounce this closed a, once in Brazil we really pronounce every single vowel. Thank you for this video. It helped me a lot getting the right pronunciation.

I always get turned around on pronouncing "ei," whether it's like a long I or more like long A. and then I start questioning everything else.
