How do you say the word Portuguese?
Is Portuguese hard to pronounce?
People say that Portuguese pronunciation is very difficult, but I’ve seen harder (wink wink). Learning Portuguese is a little bit easier than learning French but not the same as learning Spanish. Thanks to our level of difficulty in pronunciation, Portuguese people are usually good at pronouncing other languages.
Is the letter H pronounced in Portuguese?
Different from English, the letter H is not pronounced in Portuguese. If R is in the begining of a word, we pronounce it as the letter “h” in English. This sound also happens in the end of syllable or word: Porta, Carpete.
Do you pronounce the J in Portuguese?
The letter J is not a difficult sound in Portuguese. It always has the same pronunciation. The trick is to avoid your instinct to pronounce it as in English or in Spanish.
