Professional Teacher🎙️ Let’s have fun with trava-línguas! 🇧🇷
Trava-línguas (tongue twisters) are playful sentences full of similar sounds — perfect to practice your pronunciation and fluency! They’re fun, a little tricky, and a great way to improve your Portuguese.
👉 Here are some examples to try:
🔸 O rato roeu a roupa do rei de Roma.
(The rat gnawed the king of Rome’s clothes.)
🔸 Três pratos de trigo para três tigres tristes.
(Three plates of wheat for three sad tigers.)
🔸 Sabia que o sabiá sabia assobiar? Quem sabia que o sabiá sabia assobiar?
(Did you know that the thrush could whistle? Who knew that the thrush could whistle?)
✨ Try saying them slowly, then a little faster! It's a great way to train your mouth and ear for Portuguese sounds.
