    Hi! I've seen some comments here on the "mulherSH" sound, but I think each one is getting only one aspect of the issue. So I came in.
    The Portugual Portuguese is more stable concerning its ending R sound, so it is mostly a vibrating R. However, indeed, in other Portuguese speaking countries, this sound can hugely vary. It goes from a gutural sound, through a light tongue vibration, to also a weak aspiration (such as H in House).
    Duolingo does have some recording issues, and for some languages the audio quality may be lower than for others. But it is worth mentioning that in the European Portugues some sort of friction or aspiration may actually appear at the end of the words/sentences. It is very similar to what some French dialects do. I knew a lot of native French speakers who do a bit of this SH sound at the end of their sentences, and it might be a side effect of how closemouthed their pronunciation is. So, instead of closing only the lips, it is as if they narrow the entire space between the tongue and the palate, creating this German CH-like friction as air goes through it.
    Anyway, the point is: the SH in mulherSH might be a recording issue or a dialectal thing. But you don't need to do it. You may choose your varation here, and even do a very American R (like that in puRple or in beaR), and it is still gonna be perfect pronunciation.
    Hope to have helped. ;)

      I can see why he said that, as I'm learning Spanish and French while being Brazilian
      You can spot some similarities since all of them came from latim, of course, but it's funny how Portuguese mix some aspects from the other two.
      And I'm not even talking about the french words that were added into Portuguese long time ago.
      Portuguese grammar is closer to French than Spanish, surprisingly. Pronunciation can be closer to Spanish but in rare cases it has similarities with French again.
      Portugal, Spain and France being so close helped this phenomenon a lot.

      He isn't even exavtly wrong there. Portuguese and Spanish are both closely related languages, and one of the big differences in their historical development was, during the medieval and early modern periods, Portuguese received a far more substantial influence from French, *especially* when it comes to the development of standardized grammar, in spite of Spain being right inbetween Portugal and France. There's a reason, for example, that Portuguese and French use the exact same sound with the letter J, and they're the only romance languages that do it.

      @@antoniomarino3494 In a very abridged explanation, at late medieval times there was a very strong link between the Portuguese monarchy and French nobility, which also meant a degree of adoption of French cultural markers, such as troubadeurs and chivalrous tales, and a high expectation of proficiency in the french language.
      More recently and more substantially, however, standardized Portuguese comes from the foundation of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences, in the late eighteenth century. Its language section was modeled after, among other influences, the French Academy of Language, and it tooke many cues from that institution and its choices in grammar.
      Again, one of the more significant examples of that influence is the use of J, which has the same sound in both languages, but is very different in all other romance languages.

And "Mulhersh" does not exist (😂), at least not in Brazilian Portuguese. It is Mulher. And the article "E" is used as an addition, while "É" is from the verb SER. And some words are pronounced with a more "closed" sound like ELE instead of ÉLE, try pronouncing ÊLE (more closed). And VOCÊ is pronounced like CÊ, the stressed syllable. Generally, the stressed syllable is where the accents are. keep up the videos please, they are fun😊

      For someone who don't speak the language the differences in accent are not significant, even in the example Duolingo fluctuate between several accents, Lisbon, São Paulo and Rio at least and he didn't notice a thing...

      I think it's probably using the different characters to differentiate accents. Which seems quite clever IMO. Or would be if they explicitly said so.

    When I listen to American music you can tell that English comes from Latin, Spanish, French, Italian, so Brazil also has this mix
