How do you pronounce ão in Portuguese?

Question

Difficult sound

Answer 1

haha i know

well i´m brazilian and its a perfectly natural sound for me but i do see people trying to speak it and having a hard time

just practice it will come out eventually

Answer 2

It is kind of like an "ow" sound in English but more through the nose. You should listen to some Portuguese speakers on like Youtube or something. Good luck!

Answer 3

i have a good amount of portuguese friends and from hearing them talk/write i think it's "ow". but i'm not an expert. just an american who speaks english because my ancestors worked their asses off to speak the language here and not their native tongue unlike the majority of spanish and portuguese. and i'm not being ignorant simply because gaelic-english, polish-english, german- english are all 2000x harder than spanish-english/portuguese-english.
