Say it like a Tuga! Do you want me to review how good your pronunciation in Portuguese is?

Do you struggle to understand European Portuguese — even after learning vocabulary and grammar?

In this lesson, I’ll show you why pronunciation and listening go hand in hand. By reviewing real recordings from brave Portuguese learners, we’ll discover how mispronouncing certain sounds often comes from not yet hearing how native speakers actually say them.

You’ll hear examples from Portuguese learners and I’ll point out:
• Common mistakes with vowels (open vs. closed, mute E’s, nasal sounds)
• Why “Queens” and “Kings” matter in European Portuguese pronunciation
• How reproducing the pronunciation of your mother tongue (or another language) is normal, but you need to start listening to yourself
• Simple tips to fix these mistakes and start hearing Portuguese the way natives do

This isn’t just about sounding better — it’s about unlocking your listening skills so you can follow conversations in Portugal more easily and finally speak European Portuguese.
