Pronúncia

Brazilian Portuguese sounds very different from European Portuguese — more open and melodic

🎵 Vowels — open and clear in Brazilian Portuguese

Key rule: Brazilian Portuguese vowels are more open and clearly pronounced than European Portuguese. The nasal vowels (ã, em, im) are unique — sound passes through your nose. This is what gives Brazilian Portuguese its musical, sing-song quality.
