His English speaking level is way better than some British people 😅
Hes level of English is actually considered pretty average for portugal
Everyone that comes here get surprised because everyone is fluent
The whole point of communication is understanding one another, but tell that to a cockney or a Glaswegian
@@otakubaka4271 That cant be true. His level of English is pretty high generally speaking
@@topenoel1931 everyone here kinda speaks good english around 13 years old, hes lvl is pretty normal for an adult
That is mostly because here in portugal we don't dub stuff and everyone watches shows with only subtitles other than kids cartoons theres no dubs anywhere so we get used to english preety fast
@Tope Noel most young people here have a decent english

That's because people mistake Spanish pronounciation as Portugese.
Few English youtubers used to call Jose Mourinho as Hõse Mourinho not knowing that Portuguese has J .
@@kothicamedarth2680i still hear stuff like "diogo hota" instead of diogo jota, really annoying and ear breaking
I don't know anyone in Spain who calls him "Filix", I thought everyone knew it is Felix except English people 🤧
In Bulgaria we pronounce it correctly. For us the "e" in names is pronounced like the "e" in "every"

Yeah it's cool to see non-English League players talk in English press conferences for the first time.
Really gives you a feeling of how the player is and João definitely seems to fit the profile of your description
You got that from a short video clip? Wow! You have a great talent there. 🤦♂️

@@mikepriestey2547 he said looks like chill bro
In Nigerian English we always say Felix like he said it
yup
Very true
lies, in Nigeria we pronounce Yoao Filex.
There is Felix (pronounced as 'filiks') and then there is Félix (pronounced as 'fair-liks'). They are not the same name. One has a diacritic, the other one doesn't have, so they are pronounced differently. So Felix remains 'filiks', while Félix is 'fair-liks'.
@@topenoel1931 I said Filex not Filix. This is how we, all Nigerians, pronounced it.

Really hate this type of questions from journalists. What do you expect for a reply? To be a dumbass and say that it does annoy?
Luis Enrique is also underrated
It’s amazing to me how clear and concise some players are with speaking languages other than their native language. This is literally perfect english
This guys face is so good looking. Very handsome & charming.
I feel like it's just the English thing to pronounce words like that as we don't have accents
You don't have accents? What are you on about?

I remembered that Joao Felix is a footballer after seeing this video.... The last time I saw him was doing a bicycle kick which hit the crossbar in 🇵🇹vs🇲🇦 That could've saved Ronaldo's dream 😢💔
Gutes Video, wie immer. Ganz ehrlich, bin jz 14 und seit 2 Jahren so richtig im TCG drinnen und finde es gut das es jz so kommt:)
It's incredible that so many people thought of that Harry Kane joke independently. It's also incredible that they feel comfortable making fun of someone with a speech impediment.
It’s not nice to make fun of handicapped people. Harry being on the spectrum should definitely excuse him from such ridicule.
Jonathan Ross has made a career out of it. People are just softer now.
Soft
I have a speech impediment and I couldn't care less. People need to toughen up.
@@mixedmitchell9178 well said. Whatever happened to sticks and stones? This country is so soft.

I don’t think anybody in Spain would say "Filix" cause Félix is a name that exists in spanish
I think he would know how people say HIS name when he’s in Spain. Are you João Félix?🤣
Yeah but he just played and lived in one city there lol not like he want on a tour living around the whole country it varies a lot there in different regions etc
So u Think living In one city is living in the whole country? It's not the Vatican 😂
Felix is a name that exists in german and is pronounced the same way yet I once heard a german commentator call him Fe-leash
in iberian families it's a SURNAME/FAMILY NAME, not just a name @@ND-er1bo
We don't pronounce any Portuguese names correctly really.
Fernandes -> Fernansh
Dias -> Diash
Neves -> Nevsh
English is slightly lazy in that often we just say names as they're written to us. Probably too late now to go back and start referring to Bruno as "Fernansh".
So the s sounds sh?
@@memsa6559 but a soft sh like a breeze
English speakers have this terrible habit of mispronouncing Portuguese names for their the Spanish equivalent e.g., Fernandez, Gomez etc. Even first names like João, José are mispronounced, mainly due to ignorance.
@@jidsames201I find the Z too rough in Spanish names I just opt for the S in Portuguese also the H sounds in Spanish for silent letters 🤯
It's the e in pencil
He looks like Walter Jr in Breaking bad
"e hey sports" - Joáo Felix 2023
I know we all should know the correct pronounciation of his name but imagine if a reporter asked Ronaldo "Do u say Si or SIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, after scoring a goal? "😂
Thats happened before in an interview 😂😂🤣
The funny part on that is that theire both wrong 😂😂😂
Portuguese people don't care. It's Sim btw
Ronaldo: Yeah, it's si.. si.. it goes like "suuuuuuu"
Portuguese for dummies... "Sim", ends with "m" and it's a nasal sound ;)
Just call him steve
In Nigeria here we pronounce Felix the way he pronounced his name
as a brit, that "what?" sounded so british that I'm happy considering the fact that felix is one of my favourite players
He’s rather hear that than his missus pronouncing pedro Porros name ☠️
Why is bro not sending het to the streets
so fxxking handsome.
@@itsfeze6304 💀
He looks about 12, something you wanna tell us?
@@giusepped3678 he doesnt look 12 at all, he just shaved lmao
Finally someone says it
@@giusepped3678 mans 23, if you think he looks 12 there's something sus about you tbh
As a person whose last name has been mispronounced my entire life, I can understand why he wants to correct how everyone says his.
Unfortunately, I doubt many people will change how they say it.
English peoole tend to ignore the clear accent connotation in the word. It’s exactly the same with Mbappé
Yes his English is very good
Obviously everyone's been getting his name wrong any foreign player and the English media take the Mick out of the players the pronunciation of paqueta is so annoying.respect for this guy for actually asking I don't see this often.
What it's not easy to say
why are you pressed lol
The way they say Paqueta is too funny.
C’mon man it’s not that hard. 😂
Bros English is better than Kane’s💀
‘Wot?’
You cannot convince me that Felix isn’t British
I been saying “Felix”’the wrong way all this time! 😄😬
Xerox lol
Portuguese players (and coaches) speaks infinitely better English than Spanish. With 230m native speakers it's hard to argue that it's a such a small and isolated language compared to Spanish.
I lived in both countries and the reason is because in Portugal there is a lot of english/american movies and shows and its always with subtitles so you grow up catching most of the words from there , now in spain its the opposite most of the english shows they put the spanish voice over without subtitles
@@tlfa5554 nice explanation i was wondering too how his english is very good for a portuguese.
Only recently tho, thanks to the popularity of American/English media in Portugal, also thanks to the Internet, because for example, Ronaldo didn't speak a word of English
@mundial200 he still speaks a broken English.
@@mannaselonel1209 its average. 7/10 some are more prown to good english depends on what areas they choose after the 9th grade. (English is mandatory from 5th to 12th grade)
who have come here after felix's ''He Hey Sports" Meme
Love this guy😂
Finally,my Indian accent helped.I exactly pronounce how it how he said
They've been pronouncing it the English way but with the accent over the e, the pronunciation is different. If you study spanish, French you will know that.
The acute accent in Portuguese isn’t just a stress marker like it is in French and Spanish, it’s an indicator of a stressed low/open vowel. That’s why the same mispronunciation occurs in Spain despite the fact that their language has the letter é as well.
The words for grandmother and grandfather in Portuguese are avó and avô, so mispronouncing a vowel in some cases can actually change the meaning of the entire word.
Doesn’t seem as if u study any of those languages, otherwise you’d know that an accute accent serves different purpose for each language
Wait, I thought Spanish mainly used accents to put the emphasis on the syllabe? While french é/è o/ô are used to indicate low/open pronunciation (like avô and avó) but zero emphasis because it doesn't exist in french (and e with no accent is pronounced three different ways so let's forget about it).
So I'm not sure I understood the comparison between French and Spanish stress markers, it looks like French is working the same way than Portuguese, no?
Dude , literally no one in Spain calls you like that 😂
Humble lad, wish the best for him at Chelsea
😅😂
"he hey sports" - jaao felix
John Motson wouldn’t have pronounced João’s name incorrectly that I’m sure of. RIP
I mean there's two accents in his name that tell you exactly how to pronounce it. Pretty shambolic if an international sports Journalist has been getting that wrong. I think most normal people just say Felix out of convenience
Ever since the "He Hay Sports" incident bro doesn't care about pronnounciations 😂
I really thought this was about no one knowing how to say "João".
Well done João Félix, Benfica, Benfica Benfica Carrega👍💪!!!
One of those players I want to do well. Not a Chelsea can but he's a talent
The guy that said hi he sports
I can understand Felix's English waaaaaay more than Kane 😂
In Italy we would pronounce it correctly
Had no idea he knew English. When Bruno signed for us, I had no idea he knew English either.
Everyone in portugal speaks good to fluent english its preety normal here, you kinda get to a preety decent level at 13 years old
English is the 2nd most used language in the world?? Not speaking at least a little of it is even rarer
Portugal has great schools.
We have great schools here and we don't dubb the movies and TV series, this makes a huge difference in our ability to learn English.
They learn multiple languages in school but the schools are actually good.
On his name there’s a line on above the a meaning it is pronounced differently than the way you would normally say
I mean it actually sounds weird. I found it strange. Thank goodness he cleared it up
Also some people:"JaO Filix"
felix
that was the most Portuguese what ever 😂 🇵🇹

Speak for yourself, been speaking portuguese fluently since I was 3. I've been pronouncing and writing João Félix correctly ever since.

Bro, thats what I am always calling him with...
Not just Portugal, in Brazil and everywhere that speaks portuguese too, of course
We’ve seen players spend 20 years in the premier league and not speak English. This guy volunteers.
Bro He obviously learned English before he came England 😂
And he's fluent in Spanish too which is impressive for him to speak so clearly in English.
Almost Every Portuguese Player I Have Seen Speaks English I Don’t Know Why
It's normal, in Portugal we always watch movies and TV series with subtitles, the other countries normally dubb them, that makes a huge difference to our ability to speak or to learn English.
Do you mean Ronaldo? I believe someone can't get past a specific point not being able to learn further. Been leaving in West Yorkshire for 10 years and most of my colleagues couldn't get better even trying so hard also going to school.
