FROM SPANISH TO PORTUGUESE

PART IV

SUPPLEMENTARY PRONUNCIATION EXERCISES

The following exercises are provided on tape to give you additional help in keeping your pronunciation free of Spanish. They are keyed to the discussion of Portuguese sounds found in Part I. In order to avoid involvement with extraneous details and in order to permit maximum concentration on the point being drilled, very close cognates have been selected. All examples are Portuguese.

Portuguese weak-stressed ə sound (as underlined). (See Part I, pages 1–4.)
