Yes, you can drop personal pronouns, except for when you want to emphasize something or to avoid ambiguity,

· 1 - Personal pronouns may be omitted, especially when the verb conjugation is unique for that pronoun. ·
· (Eu) sou um homem · I am a man
· (Eu) in the sentence is totally optional. · www.duolingo.com/skill/pt/Basics-1/tips-and-notes ·
The voice is incredibly robotic. Is this really how the world is pronounced (thinking particularly about the stress)

Yes, the quality of the voice is too poor to be useful. The Spanish duolingo is pretty good, but the Portuguese version needs some work.
I was just wondering how come I don't hear the "uma" clearly before Menina...Is it that because "sou" precedes? therefore you say "ma menina" after?

Thank you for the pronoun response and the pronunciation reply. I love this language. And I appreciate you.
Yes because both words end in "u" so combining it makes it easier to transition the words.
o = the (used for masculine, singular nouns)
That'd be "I'm a the girl".
- eu = I
-
sou = am
-
Eu sou um menino = I am a boy
- Eu sou uma menina = I am a girl
