Portuguese is a stress-time language and so many people struggle with understanding Portuguese when it's spoken to them or wonder why people will switch to English because they see you struggle with the pronunciation when YOU are trying to speak. I colour code my onscreen subtitles with light blue to represent the stressed syllable. I use the colour red to represent either a letter cancellation or suppression (usually a vowel). I haven't illustrated all the suppressions in this video because the words are not in sentences. Usually, when you say a word on its own in Portuguese, suppressions happen less frequently. I offer you my views on pronunciation through the eyes and ears of someone who went through the process of learning Portuguese myself as a foreigner (albeit when I was very young). I have a huge interest in this subject and I'm always trying to learn more and improve my knowledge on it. My pronunciation videos are examples of fast, colloquial, and most of the time, informal speech. The more informal demonstrations are demonstrations of the Algarvian Portuguese accent.
