| Hi everyone. |
| Welcome to The Ultimate Portuguese Pronunciation Guide. |
| You've made it to the last lesson! Do you feel more confident about speaking in Portuguese now? |
| In this last lesson, we'll wrap things up by quizzing you on the material that we've covered in this series. |
| Let's practice! |
| Make sure to practice out loud with this lesson! |
| You know all the parts and pieces, but can you speak Portuguese with a natural accent? |
| If you've been quiet up until now, be sure to speak out loud with (host name)! |
| Are you ready? Let's go! |
| You probably knew this phrase before you started this series, but did you know how to pronounce it correctly? |
| Give it a shot! |
| Olha para cima. - Look up. |
| Did you pronounce this sound correctly? |
| It should sound like an L and a Y sound. Remember, you want to use the middle part of the tongue to contact the roof of your mouth. |
| Olha para cima. - Look up. |
| If you still haven't got it, go back to lesson 6 to review the material. |
| What about this next one? |
| atenção - attention |
| Did you pronounce the diphthong correctly? |
| We covered this sound in lesson 7. Remember, since it's a nasal dipthong you should pronounce it through the nose. |
| Listen to it again. |
| atenção - attention |
| Okay. Let's move on. |
| Where is the stress in this example? |
| aranha - spider |
| Since this word ends with a vowel that *isn't* an I or a U, the stress will be on the second last syllable. |
| aranha - spider |
| Here's the last one. |
| Where is the stress in this example? |
| matemática - mathematics |
| Accents are good indications of stress. Since this has the acute accent, it indicates that the syllable should be stressed and that it requires an open pronunciation. |
| matemática - mathematics |
| How did it go? Do you feel like you have a better accent than you did at the beginning of this series? |
| What parts of Portuguese Pronunciation are still difficult for you? |
| Good luck as you continue learning Portuguese! Bye! |
