    What a terrific teacher! She's the first instructor that has made me want to learn how to speak Portuguese. I'm no linguist, but I find it a difficult language to learn since intuitively it seems to borrow from Spanish, French, and Italian in different ways. Yet, this mixture helps to explain why it's such a beautiful language, especially when set to music.

    Mil obrigados por ensinares ambos os "hard Rs". Eu sou português e sempre fiz o R "espanhol"/"russo", tal como toda a gente na zona onde eu morava. Entretanto já conheci espanhóis e russos que aprenderam português e foram ensinados a pronunciar o "R" tipo francês, sem qualquer menção ao facto de poderem usar a forma que já dominam da sua língua nativa. Eu até ainda me lembro desse R estar bastante presente na televisão no final de anos 80, princípio de 90 quando eu era criança. Entretanto praticamente desapareceu dos media... valha-nos ter um Presidente da República que os pronuncie assim, para se ir ouvindo com alguma frequência.

    Hi, nice video, but I'd just like to drop a slight remark: I'm from Porto and my r goes as your first r, not the second (it would have been easier to say we pronounce that r like the French). In most of the country (and that's mostly south, not north) you get that rolled r. Believe me when I say I find that almost impossible. So north, south, south, north, it isn't like that. But ok, I'm quite sure about the south, but I'll pay closer attention the next time I visit, say, Minho or Trás-os-Montes.

    When i was in Portugal I was (of course) trying to taste as many different Porto wines as I could. A famous one is Ferreira and I was amazed by how this last name is pronounced. I couldn't/can't understand what to do with that... but THIS explanation in THIS video is the very first time that I think I MIGHT be near the real pronounciation. Your explanation in 7 (jee!!! seven!!) steps seems definitely exagerated at first but... it works!
    It just makes me laught thinking of Portugues people having to throw their head back and making garglings every time they have to pronounce a R.
    thanks a lot!

    That's interesting because in Polish language this harsh type of R is considered a speech defect, so in words like "rower" (bicycle) we would pronounce both R like Spanish Correr but some never master this and pronounce both R like in Portuguese words carro, Rio. We refer to those people as ones who don't pronounce the letter R or as those who pronounce it like the French

    I find myself learning Brazilian Portuguese (being a Mexican Spanish speaker) and out of curiosity wanted to discover new ways to teach to pronunce the portuguese RR (or at least grasp it differently) which in Spanish is done in a diff way but the soft R is quite common. Before this I used to think about the idea of first drinking in one gulp a milk carton (leaving your mouth/throat highly concentrated with unpleasant mucus, lol) and then try to pronunce portuguese RR words afterwards... yeah, not exactly glamorous nor healhty, but hey, that friggin pronunciation came like being born and raise in BR...
    ... just kidding, gargling does it for me too. The whole milk story is just an unpleasant anecdote 🤣. You're great at teaching, keep it up!

      There’s no actual “sh” sound when we pronounce the ending R’s. What you might have heard was possibly just air coming out of my mouth as I said those words - when you pronounce the soft “r” in Portuguese you bring the tip of your tongue nearer to the alveolar bridge (rough part of the top of you mouth) and at the same time you blow out air, so the top of you tongue vibrates as it goes again the air. Hope this makes sense 😅

    Well ... I've recently listened to fado over and over - Amalia Rodrigues and Carlos do Carmo: simplesmente adorei, totalmente fixe !
    However: both Amalia and Carlos *clearly* sing words with rr as Spanish R in perro, carro, cerrar, tierra, barrio etc. Very strong and distinct rolled R in: bairro alto, mulher da rua, terra prometida. Not even close to the sound of RR described here - actually, just the opposite.
    Hence, my question is: why do they pronounce it counter to what the taught pronunciation is supposed to be? What am I missing here?

      Olá, Lubomir. I did describe 3 different R’s in the video…
      Amália seems to actually use both the “French” and the “Spanish” R. For instance, listen to this fado th-cam.com/video/ARS7Zi-Zpkw/w-d-xo.html and pay close attention to when she sings “TERRAS de Espanha”…
      Even though both hard R’s are used in Portugal this seems to be a bit of a controversial topic amongst the natives - just check some of the comments in this section…

    Algumas pessoas Inglêsas acham o som the R ao princípio soa como H???????? Nunca entendi isso mas parece ser um começo para eles!

      O H inglês não é sempre pronunciado da mesma maneira, tem diferentes pronúncias, ainda mais em zonas diferentes do país. Existe a forma do H inglês que se aproxima do “R” português 🙂

    In reality the traditional "r" that is used in most of Portugal is the rolled "r". That gutural R is a Lisbon and Southern Portuguese inovation...

    So can the R in Portuguese be pronounced like in French?

      The hard R in the beginning of words or “RR”, yes it’s like the French.

    Discordo totalmente que o R gutural, "à francesa", seja o R português. É, isso sim, *um* dos R's portugueses.
    Sou 100% português e esse R francês não é o meu R, nem o da maioria das pessoas que habitam na minha região (Trás-os-Montes). O meu R é o R "rolado", a que os anglófonos chama "trill".
    Curiosamente, uma excepção na minha família é precisamente o meu pai, que pronuncia o R à francesa - razão pela qual, na infância, era gozado pelos colegas de escola, pois todos os outros pronunciavam o R rolado.

      What a shame, since the Portuguese and many people of France are all originally from the Gallic tribes.
