English is spoken widely all over the world – which is great, until you realize it’s not always the same English. Many people are already aware of the dialectal differences between the English spoken in America versus that spoken in, say, Britain. But even within the boundaries of the United States, there are dozens of different dialects all their own.

Portuguese: Homógrafos
Hoje eu quero falar sobre homógrafos. Essas palavras tem a mesma grafia, ou seja, são escritas da mesma forma, mas são pronunciadas de forma diferente. Muitas vezes a pronúncia da palavra pode ser determinada pelo acento gráfico. Por exemplo: avô, masculino, que tem o som mais fechado, leva acento circunflexo, e avó, feminino que tem o som mais aberto, leva acento agudo. Mas quando não há acento, podemos diferenciar homógrafos pelo contexto. Watch this video lesson on our Youtube channel: https://youtu.be/YHiA0j3TJpI ➡ Learn more at www.limlessons.com
