To communicate well in English the learner should pay attention to the differences in sounds between his mother tongue and English. The study of pronunciation is usually divided in two parts: segmental aspects (individual sounds) and supra-segmental aspects (rhythm, intonation, stress). Let's begin with the segmental aspects practicing individual sounds and observing the main challenges for the Brazilian student. Here is a list of just some of the consonantal challenges:
