Following this year’s Super Bowl hosted by the city of New Orleans, my mom and I talk about our memories of traveling there, touching on a number of aspects of the city’s identity, especially food and music. We also discuss how the city has recovered from multiple natural disasters over the past few decades.

If you want to learn more about a historic (and delicious) American city and find out which dishes it’s most famous for, be sure to listen!

How to say you speak or don’t speak a language in Saudi Arabic

O R no início da palavra tem o som é gutural que é o da garganta ra – re – ri – ro – ru Trava-línguas O rato roeu a roupa do rei de Roma! Romeu riu no rio do Rio! Para quem fala espanhol, o som é similar com a letra J (José) Para quem fala inglês, o sim é similar com a letra H (hot) O som de dois erres, é igual ao som do R no início da palavra, o som gutural, ou chamamos também de R forte. Cachorro – socorro – arrogante Eu não mexi a minha língua para pronunciar nenhum desses erres, nem o r do início da palavra, nem o som de dois erres. O R entre duas vogais, você vai colocar a língua em direção ao céu da boca quando for pronunciar o R entre vogais. Cara – pera – geladeira – Você percebe que a sílaba tônica não é a sílaba que tem o R, então o R será fraco. Carro = R forte – som da garganta Caro – R fraco – som do céu da boca O carro é caro. Carrinho = R forte diminutivo de carro Carinho = R fraco O menino trata o carrinho dele com carinho. O R depois de consoante também é fraco, a língua vibra no céu da boca tocando nos dentes da frente. ra – re – ri – ro – ru = com a boca mais fechada, usando a língua. Graduação – Trabalho – preto – cobra – fronha O R antes de consoante ou no final das palavras é fraco, mas é aberto. Porta – arma - colher – mulher - Muitas vezes, na linguagem informal do dia a dia, o R no final das palavras é praticamente inexistente, como: “vamos fala” / “vamos come”/ “vamos abri”. Palavras com R fraco e Forte Horror Quando eu falo aberto, você continua a emitir o som! Alguns verbos no futuro do pretérito também terão os dois sons do R, como: eu correria / eu erraria / eu me arrependeria. R forte é o som do fundo da garganta/ o fraco é a vibração da língua no céu da boa pegando os dentes da frente. O Brasil possui diversos sotaques, o R varia muito dependendo da sua região. Eu sou de São Paulo da Capital, então minha explicação foi com o sotaque da cidade.
