Understanding Portuguese phonetics is a key element in speaking the language correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s one of the many stumbling blocks: In English, we pronounce “ti” as “tee” or “tAY,” but in Portuguese, it’s almost always pronounced “chee.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pet – Estima\u00e7\u00e3o (es-chee-ma-sow)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skeptical – C\u00e9tico (seh-chee-coh)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Had – Tinha (cheen-yah)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Native – Nativo (na-chee-vo)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continues – Continua (con-chee-noo-a)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motive – Motivo (moh-chee-voh)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
