People from São Paulo and Rio have really obnoxious rs

 

[LotusBud]

Ah. I didn't think you had it there. Em seu região?

 

[RANCIDMILKO ™ ®©]

No, here in my state people are known for speaking like hillbillies

 

[RANCIDMILKO ™ ®©]

Lol

Minas Gerais

 

[LotusBud]

Depende do região aqui, também.

 

[LotusBud]

so the throat r's are high class?

 

[LotusBud]

I can do them alright. Haha.

 

[LotusBud]

Minas Gerais é um lugar?

 

[RANCIDMILKO ™ ®©]

Minas Gerais é um estado

 

[RANCIDMILKO ™ ®©]

Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo - those four states are the Southeast region

 

[LotusBud]

Is Minas Gerais your state?

[LotusBud]

Honestly, are the throat r's higher class?

 

[RANCIDMILKO ™ ®©]

I'd stick to the normal r's

 

[RANCIDMILKO ™ ®©]

Is this what you're talking about?

 

[LotusBud]

Se usa um r normal quando r é a primeira letra da palavra, ninguém entende.

 

[LotusBud]

It's Chkkkua, not Rua.

 

[LotusBud]

But yes, that was what I was talking about.

 

[RANCIDMILKO ™ ®©]

That's in Portugal I think

 

[RANCIDMILKO ™ ®©]

nobody says rrrrrrrua here

 

[RANCIDMILKO ™ ®©]

It's rua

 

[RANCIDMILKO ™ ®©]

You don't wiggle your tongue like in garagem

 

[LotusBud]

No one says rrrrrua here, either. It's clear-your-throat-ua.

 

[RANCIDMILKO ™ ®©]

the second pronunciation doesn't exist

 

[LotusBud]

Here the clear your throat sound is when r is the first letter, or when there's a double rr. A single r mid word is like you're saying them. Carro is either rolled r or throat gargle r.

 

[LotusBud]

D|epending on the region.

 

[LotusBud]

For the double rr.

lol, I'm running a few cases in my head here and I understand your frustration
