In this level, we are going to learn how some consonants can seem silent in Portuguese.
They appear without vowels in writing, so at first, they may look mute.
But Brazilian Portuguese usually does not leave them completely silent.
Instead, letters like B, C, D, P, and T often gain a short “i” sound in pronunciation.
The good news?
This makes the words easier to say.
The bad news?
The vowel is not written, so your eyes and your ears may start arguing.
