About this accent
The phonetic identity of Brazilian Portuguese.
Brazilian Portuguese is open-vowel-friendly and stress-timed, making it sound musical to outsiders. T and D palatalize before /i/ — "tia" sounds like "chia". The R varies wildly by region: São Paulo uses a tap, Rio uses a velar fricative (/χ/), the south uses a trill.

FAQ
Common questions.
Which Brazilian region is the accent based on?
The pt-BR model targets the São Paulo / national broadcast register — what you hear on Globo. Rio, Northeast (NE Brazil), and Southern variants have distinctive R sounds not separately modeled.
Why does T sound like "ch" in Brazilian Portuguese?
Palatalization — T and D shift to /tʃ/ and /dʒ/ before /i/. "Tia" sounds like "chia", "dia" like "djia". This is one of the most distinctive Brazilian features.
How is this different from European Portuguese?
Closed vs open vowels, palatalized vs not palatalized T/D, different rhythm (Brazilian stress-timed, European stress-timed with heavy unstressed reduction). Different scoring engines, different example sentences.
How long until I sound Brazilian?
Palatalization is the first big win — usually 1–2 weeks. Vowel openness and the regional R variation take 4–8 weeks.
