Reading Class: A beleza total by Carlos Drummond de Andrade ep. 14

Study with me: preply.com/pt/professor/90890/ Instagram: @thisisbrazilianportuguese @orogeriovalverde A beleza total

A beleza de Gertrudes fascinava todo mundo e a própria Ger-
trudes. Os espelhos pasmavam diante de seu rosto, recusando-
-se a refletir as pessoas da casa e muito menos as visitas. Não
ousavam abranger o corpo inteiro de Gertrudes. Era impossí-
vel, de tão belo, e o espelho do banheiro, que se atreveu a isto,
partiu-se em mil estilhaços.
A moça já não podia sair à rua, pois os veículos paravam à
revelia dos condutores, e estes, por sua vez, perdiam toda capa-
cidade de ação. Houve um engarrafamento monstro, que durou
uma semana, embora Gertrudes houvesse voltado logo para
casa.
O Senado aprovou lei de emergência, proibindo Gertrudes
de chegar à janela. A moça vivia confinada num salão em que
só penetrava sua mãe, pois o mordomo se suicidara com uma
foto de Gertrudes sobre o peito.
Gertrudes não podia fazer nada. Nascera assim, este era o
seu destino fatal: a extrema beleza. E era feliz, sabendo-se in-
comparável. Por falta de ar puro, acabou sem condições de vida,
e um dia cerrou os olhos para sempre. Sua beleza saiu do corpo
e ficou pairando, imortal. O corpo já então enfezado de Gertru-
des foi recolhido ao jazigo, e a beleza de Gertrudes continuou
cintilando no salão fechado a sete chaves.

Alfabeto/Alfabet: Introduction of the Brazilian Portuguese Alfabet ep. 1.

Alfabeto/Alfabet: Introduction of the Brazilian Portuguese Alfabet ep. 1.

Study with me: preply.com/pt/professor/90890/ . Before you start to learn the alphabet it's important to understand that you do not need to have perfect pronunciation when you start to learn a language. I put this chapter at the beginning to help you, as an autodidact, to read more closely than conventional speakers do.
Learning a language is a long process. Ideally, you should be able to amplify your vocabulary reading news, books, letters and posts on the internet. Indeed, you also need to read them with the native sounds during this battle with unknown pronunciation. To show that, let's see an example of a Portuguese word pronounced in English. A great example with a very independent animal.

A cat
Um gato
Oonhn gah-toh

Even cats are not your favorite pet. In both languages, the word is easy to pronounce. Obviously it's not like that with the whole dictionary. However, look at the next example.

A watch
Um relógio
Oohn reh-lawh-gih-oh

Therefore, we need to start with the structure of the Brazilian alphabet. It is not too different from English. It is true, the letters are the same, 26 in total. On the other hand, we have some symbols to use with the vowels and under the letter "c".

Alphabet :

A B C D E F G H I J K* L M N O P Q R S T U V W* X Y* Z

Vogais (vowels): a e i o u y w
Consoantes ( consonants): b c d f g h j k l m n p q r s t v w x z

(*) They are included at Brazilian alphabet, but are not used in native vocabulary, just words that are absorbed by languages.

They are read in this way:

a (ah)
b (beh)
c (ceh)
d (deh)
e (eh)
f (efy)
g (geh)
h (agá)
i (ee)
j (jóta)
k (cá)
l (ely)
m (emy)
n (eny)
o (o)
p (peh)
q (keh)
r (ehay)
s (essy)
t (teh)
u (oo)
v (veh)
w (dáblio)
x (shees)
y (eepsilon)
z (zeh)
