Hey Alexis!

Traveling Soon? How to ask for help when you're stuck at the airport

A letra "L" terá som de "u" em dois casos.
Primeiro caso: sempre que estiver no final das palavras:
Exemplos: Brasil (som: Brasiu); jornal (jornau)

Segundo caso: sempre que estiver no final de uma sílaba e em seguida houver uma consoante:
Exemplos: calma divisão silábica: cal-ma (som: cauma) ; olfato (som: oufato); filme (fiume)
Esta segunda regra parece mais complicada, mas nao é. Considere que letra "L" seguida de consoante tem som de "u", esqueça a parte de divisão silábica se parecer mais fácil. :)

Obrigada por ter me acompanhado até aqui! Conversamos no próximo episódio!
