  • When Joel says “Ainda tens um bocadinho de pronúncia”, i think this is a reference to the accent, or sotaque, but does the use of the word “pronúncia” give this a different type of context?

    • Olá! Between “pronúncia [alentejana]” and “sotaque alentejano”, there’s no real difference in meaning, just in wording. So, the word choice is of no consequence here.

  • I like this style of podcast because it is an interesting conversation and new faces are more entertaining and you still learn not only the language but as well something about Portugal.

  • Eu também tenho saudades do Alentejo. Vivi em Évora durante vários anos. Gostei imenso do povo, do paisagem e da comida e do bom vinho tinto.
