Pronouncing the -ão in Brazilian Portuguese

The -ão ending in Portuguese gives English speakers a really hard time, so here is a video for you to practice your pronunciation.

For the video I chose five very common words ending in -ão: mão (hand), mamão (papaya), pão (bread), não (no, not) and chão (ground, floor). I also provided some example sentences with the words ending in -ão so you can practice it.

Remember that we are only able to produce difficult sounds after listening to them many times, so watch the video, stop it, watch it again and you’ll see that it gets better every day.
