Indeed, my girlfriend, a Brazilian, is teaching me Portuguese. I have real trouble pronouncing the kind of implied "m" and the end of "pão", without which, instead of meaning bread, turns out to mean penis/cock/dick. "Eu como pão" is something I have to be very careful with.
- fernandotakai 10y agoyou could try associating the "m" with something like "palm", but just a little bit closer when speaking.
- aandrieiev 10y agoOn a related note, most of speakers of East-European languages have hard time with word pairs like "bitch"/"beech" and "shit"/"sheet". Number of "spreadshits" heard at some meetings can't leave anybody cold =)
- sanoli 10y agoIm brazilian and I just laughed out loud on this one. Indeed, be careful with that one.
