Diagraphs in Portuguese NH CH LH

Diagraphs in Portuguese NH CH LH

Author: Lucy Mary Johnson August 18, 2021 Duration: 3:18

The purpose of this podcast is to teach you the sounds of our diagraphs, which we don`t have in English words, and this can be a big challenge.

Diagraphs are a combination of 2 letters with only one sound, it can be at the beginning, middle, or end of words.

1- words written with LH, -  toalha, orelha, mulher, olho, milho, bilhete, telha. Try using the word Lea(name of woman), it sounds the same.

2-words with CH - chave, cheiro, chinelo, mochila, cachorro, chuva, sanduíche. To be able to pronounce them say sheeee. Now try each of them.

3-words with NH - cunhada, aranha, sonho, dinheiro, caminho, banho, banheiro. try saying "in a". Now apply this sound to be able to pronounce them.

If you need more lessons like that one, let me know either on my Youtube channel or Instagram.

Lucy Mary Johnson has been helping students find their voice in Portuguese for years, and now she brings that same patient, practical guidance to her audio lessons. Tuning into Brazilian Portuguese Language-Teacher Mary feels less like a formal class and more like a helpful conversation with a friend who happens to be an expert. Each episode is built around real-life situations-ordering food in a *lanchonete*, making plans with friends, or understanding the lyrics of a popular samba song. You’ll hear the natural rhythm and melody of the language as Mary breaks down colloquial phrases, explains tricky grammar without the jargon, and offers cultural notes that give the words context. This podcast is designed for those who want to move beyond textbook Portuguese and into the vibrant, living language spoken in Brazil’s cities and towns. Progress comes through consistent, manageable exposure, and Mary’s calm, clear explanations make it easy to fit learning into a daily routine. Whether you're preparing for a trip, connecting with heritage, or just love the sound of Portuguese, these episodes provide a structured yet relaxed path forward. The focus is always on comprehension and confident speaking, turning the often daunting process of language acquisition into something genuinely enjoyable and achievable.
