Translation: The lion

[Fred73401]

Why is it so hard to pronounce leão? Damn... I pronounced it correctly but it does not accept my pronunciation... They must better fix this...

[Cashley20]

Im saying o leão and its saying that im in correct

[ThanKwee]

Is it just me? I hear "Um leão" on the fast version, but "O leão" on the slow version.

[Bennemann2]

You can tell it's not "um" because the "M" sound is completely absent.

[ColSports]

I can't hear either.

[fridgemonger]

Just out of intrest, how nasal is leão meant to be because my two brazilian friends both have northern brazilian accents

[Hotdokbestdok]

This sounds exactly like french word "lion"
Is it supposed to ?

[samianquazi]

So would 'the lioness' be 'A leãa"?

[Paulenrique]

It would be "a leoa".
