PORTUGUESE PRONUNCIATION

Brazilian Portuguese is most often pronounced precisely as it is spelled, consequently, knowing the Brazilian pronunciation of the diverse Portuguese vowels, consonants, diphthongs and diagraphs can be very profitable in helping your improve your pronunciation. The Portuguese language has a complex phonetic structure; many letters have more than one pronunciation, their phonetic value is often predictable from their situation within a word; this is usually the case for the consonants (except x).

The pronunciation of some letters is dissimilar in European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese, because the Portuguese is a pluricentric language.
