That "dji" sound for "di" is a feature of some accents in Brazil. It is the same pronunciation used by the Google voice for the verb "dizer".
There are many pronunciation guides around and Google will help you find them. If you want a light, readable introduction with little jargon you can download a PDF of the first chapter of Portuguese for Dummies (2nd Edition).
That's great, have you read the whole book? Link for anyone interested. http://media.wiley.com/product_data/excerpt/18/11183992/1118399218-227.pdf
It's funny how reading a phonetic description of a word is more helpful than hearing someone say it. (hint to duolingo)
No, I have just read the description and this free chapter. It doesn't get very good reviews on Amazon although it seems that is mostly due to the Kindle version being a mess. The "Look Inside" version on the Amazon site has lots more content visible so you should be able to judge how good the book is likely to be yourself. (By the way, my message provides a direct link to the PDF too. Does that not work with your way of accessing Duolingo?)
