LESSON 01

The Alphabet

The Portuguese alphabet has the same 26 letters as the English one. The letters “k”, “w” and “y” were banned from the alphabet at one time but later returned.

The vowels and the letter “c” receive special marks that will be discussed in Lesson 02.

Below you can see the letters, their names and the sound files for each name as well as for the whole alphabet.
