Pronunciation Guide
- Forgetting the accent on the 'u' which indicates stress and an open vowel sound.
- Pronouncing the final 'e' as a distinct syllable instead of a soft, almost silent sound, especially in European Portuguese.
- Not distinguishing between the 'm' and 'n' sounds clearly before the 't'.
