First of a series of videos about the
pronunciation of certain Brazilian Portuguese sounds
What are Diacritic Marks?
Are signs or marks used to change the sound-values of the letters to which they are added.
This mark (~) is called "til" in Portuguese or "tilde" in Spanish and is put on top of two vowels "A" and "O"
Lke this: Ã and Õ.
I recorded in the video above the sound of à for the following words:
Rã - Frog
Anã - Female Dwarf
Sutiã - Bra
Teerã - Teheran
Maracanã - a Parakeet, Brazil's # 1 stadium
Amsterdã - Amsterdam
Alemã - German (Feminine noun)
Canaã - Canaan (Bible land)
