Experts say AI is a force for good
Knowing the difficulty of the pronunciation of tourists in relation to the Brazilian language, a survey was carried out where foreigners were asked which city in Brazil was the most challenging to speak.
After all, which city was at the top of the survey?
Are you curious to know which city is the winner? Well, we are talking about Rio de Janeiro. Although this answer seems surprising to us Brazilians, gringos confess that they have a lot of difficulty pronouncing the city.
They even said that the word ends up becoming a “tongue twister” for them, this is also due to the length of the name.
Confirmation that Rio de Janeiro won the dispute came after verifying that the word had 7 million visits in an online dictionary of various pronunciations. Let's agree that it's a real novelty that the name is so difficult for gringos.
Are there other cities on this list? Check out!
Those who thought that only Brazilian cities made the list are wrong, because others were also considered difficult to pronounce. For example, we have Tokyo and Chicago. On the European continent, the city of Porto won the competition.
The point is that not even this pronunciation difficulty stops gringos from going on their trips and discovering several new places.
On the contrary, they see it as a challenge to be faced and that, little by little, they get used to and adapt to the name of each of these cities.
