Beautiful! These episodes where you guys really scrub out these fine points in pronunciation are just the best! They really have opened up a new aspect to my learning the language.
Question: I think I heard from everyone in this episode pronounce some dâs here and there somewhat like voiced âthâ in English (âthisâ), or probably more precisely like a soft d sound in Spanish (ânadaâ). Am I hearing correctly? If so, is that essential, or can we always just pronounce âdâ as âdâ as in English? Obrigado! Dave in So. Cal.
OlĂĄ, Dave. Thank you for your comment! Regarding the D, you can always just pronounce it as a regular English D. Any variations you hear are probably just due to little individual speech differences đ
I would prefer podcasts totally in portuguese.
Hi Robert, completely understood! We have a lot of users who like having the English explanations when they are starting out, or to go over details of pronunciation in a more clear way. But we also have a lot of users, like you, who would prefer the more immersive Portuguese-only episodes. We are working on finding a good balance of both, and really appreciate your feedback on this! We are increasing our Shorty production right now, so hopefully that will help a bit to give you more Portuguese-only content.
Again too much english thereâŠ
Thank you both for the English. Many many of us still need it- so doing a balance (I also enjoy using the PortuguĂȘs only you have) is super helpful. Thank you again!
How do I make my own attempt to record a podcast and submit for review? Your feedback on fine-tuning pronunciation is really terrific.
Thanks!
Thank you! We usually post on Facebook and/or in our community forum to ask for recordings to go along with a specific Shorty to be featured in the episode. We just finished recording a few Podcasts, so we donât have any that are ready for submissions right now, but keep an eye out and we would LOVE to have you record yourself!
Hi again! Just wanted to let you know that Joel and Rui are going to record another podcast soon and are looking for recordings again. If you want to submit yours, click on this link and then go to âGet featured in our next Podcast Episodeâ: DiĂĄrio de uma Quarent(o)ena II
Thank you so much for the notification! I submitted a recording!!
A brilliant episode.
Great podcast guys. I only have only been a member since April 2020, so im very new to learning the language, therefore podcasts like this are particularly beneficial to assist with my pronunciation. Aslo, due to my lack of vocabulary, the fact that its not all in Portuguese is also very helpful. I understand that more advanced members might think differently, but for a relative beginner like myself, I dont feel too intimidated by not being able to understand the majority of the text, and find it very user friendly!
Thanks again Roibert.
Thank you for the kind words, so glad this format is helpful for you!
That was absolutely brilliant!! đŻ
Too much English. Like an earlier commenter, I would prefer podcasts 100% in Portuguese. Of course, explanations can be in clearly-enunciated Portuguese.
Thanks for the feedback! Weâve started recording the podcasts in Portuguese for the most part. We occasionally use English when making beginner level content, though. Our 2 most recent Podcast episodes are mostly in Portuguese. Videos are mostly Portuguese, except for many of the ones that are marked A1. The Shorties are 100% Portuguese. I hope that helps!
Iâm quite new to learning, my impression meanwhile is that portuguese is spoken in a kind of âstenographyâ way.
This episode sounds like Maria was super tired or drunk or both.
This stenography speaking may be the reason for while I meanwhile am able to say something to somebody, I never understand their answer đ
OlĂĄ! European Portuguese pronunciation is for sure very challenging đ Here are some resources that might give you some insights, in case you havenât come across them yet:
