Sir, this explains a lot about how Portuguese pronounce d & t . I was listening to a person from Brazil pronouncing bucket and it sounds like buckage which fits in with your very helpful explanation. Thank you
So far I have seen two videos of this author, this video and one explaining the 'r' sound, I think these two video is the best I have ever seen. It does clarify some problems that other teachers cannot really make me understand, some might pronounce 't' pretty much the same as 'd', but watching this video actually helps me to identify the two different sounds. This video helps a lot.HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
I was wondering why a Brazilian friend of mine has so much problem with the pronunciation of words such as good or bad and night. And when I started to learn Portuguese I also found myself confused by these consonants. Your video cleared that up quite nicely thank you.
I was so confused about the two sound "te" and "de" (and I used to wrongly pronounce the "ge" and "de" sound in the same way~ ) I've watched tons of videos that claim to help me out, but none of them works. Thanks to this video, it really helps a lot!!!!!!
GREAT job, Mr. Ricardo. I have Living Language Brazilian Portuguese, and their pronunciation guide (if you can EVEN call it that) SUCKS!! You are a life saver!
Love this pronunciation tutorial. I was watching a movie and the characters said something like 'entenjeer' which meant understand. It didn't cross my mind it was spelt as 'entender' Also, would you be so kind to make a video on the accent marks in Portuguese?
Hi Ricardo! I had a question about the "d" in demais and rodear (rodeado) - the d's here can be pronounced as a "dz" sound - why is this the case? the "de" is not at the end of the sentence. Was a little confused about this exception!
Oi! In fact, this is not an exception. Many Ds in the beginning of sylables can have the same sound of dg (as judge). It happens very often: dia, despertar, devagar, dezessete, dezoito, desligar etc. Ah! And in the middle of words as well: rodear, rodeado. That's why I'll make a video about the subject soon. 👍
I noticed the word Devagar has a Ji sound at the beginning of the word, even though the Ji sound from DE comes at the end of a word. Is this an exception?
Hi, Icy, you're right. Sometimes we pronounce "DE" at the beginning as "JI". So, you can hear/pronounce desligar (de / ji), devagar (de / ji), dezessete (de / ji), dezoito (de / ji), dezenove (de / ji), demais (de / ji), destino (de / ji) and many others. Both ways are correct, it's just a variation. Some exceptions: desde (de), delegacia (de), desejo (de), defesa (de)...
Good question! In fact, many words beginning with D can also be pronounce as the letter J in English. Examples: desesseis, dezessete, dezoito, dezenove. They are different accents, different ways of pronounceing the same word.
With the "des" and "tes", what if the words end with them AND with and "s". Like "saudades". Is it like "saudajes" without making the e sound as in "eat"?
Yes, Orlando. If they are in the end of a word, we pronunce *"DES"* (saudaDES) like *J* like in Jet + EAs like in EAt and *"TES"* (parTES) like *CH* in CHair + EAs like in EAt. But don't pronounce the "EA" too long.
This is very good! I will keep learning from your channel.

Hi Mr. Filgueira I have a question about (TE) in the end of a word. How can we pronounce (TE) in the beginning or in the middle of a word?
I would ask the same question thanks bro ..

Ah okay, thank you so much for the clarification. :)
What about devagar? Isn't this pronounced "jevagar" even though the de- isn't at the end of the word
Good question! In fact, many words beginning with D can also be pronounce as the letter J in English. Examples: desesseis, dezessete, dezoito, dezenove. They are different accents, different ways of pronounceing the same word.

About Brazil this kind of comments is so useful thank you
Why does it Seem that the T sounds like D??Who can differentiate the t from D???
It just requires practice to to distinguish in listening and speaking. You'll get there! 💪
so bom apetite is pornounced like bom apetchitchi?
Exatamente!
Esso
