Well, Brazilians pronounce the first "r" in a word like an "h".
When the "c" has the little squiggly thing = "ç" it's pronounced like an "s". "C" is pronounced like an "s" before an "i" or an "e. It's pronounced like "K" before "a", "o "or "u'", but "ç" is always pronounced like an "s".
The "ã" makes the "ao" sound nasal.
Does that help?
There are always exceptions. https://rioandlearn.com/palavras-em-cao-intermediario/ Furthermore, quote: "In Portuguese, most of the words ending in ção are feminine. Let’s take a look at a short list of feminine words ending in ção and learn what are the exceptions:"
And words that end in an "a" are not always of the feminine gender. For example "um artista" = "an artist" if speaking about a man.
