Pronunciation - how to pronounce Portuguese cities

In this episode, you’ll learn the pronunciation of cities, towns and islands in Portugal.

This is a long list, in alphabetical order, but naturally doesn’t include everything! If you ever wondered how to correctly pronounce the city or town where you live in, that you visited last time you were in Portugal or that you’re going to visit again soon, then look out for it.

Even if you’re not interested in any of these locations, it’s good pronunciation practice. :)
