Once you get used to it it’s easy, but many people don’t have a lot of exposure and so they struggle with it. It’s mostly because the Portuguese don’t pronounce weaker vowels. Example: the word “excelente”. In Brazil they pronounce it with four syllables “e-se-len-tchi”, in Portugal it’s one syllable “shlent”.

This depends on the region. I’m from the North and I would say it more like “ayshlent”.

Everything to do with the USA’s own Imperial Backyard. From hispanics to the originary peoples of the americas to the diasporas, South America to Central America, to the Caribbean to North America (yes, we’re also there).

Post memes, art, articles, questions, anything you’d like as long as it’s about Latin America. Try to tag your posts with the language used, check the tags used above for reference (and don’t forget to put some lime and salt to it).

Here’s a handy resource to understand some of the many, many colloquialisms we like to use across the region.

“But what about that latin american kid I’ve met in college who said that all the left has ever done in latin america has been bad?”
