  • When Joel says “Ainda tens um bocadinho de pronúncia”, i think this is a reference to the accent, or sotaque, but does the use of the word “pronúncia” give this a different type of context?

    • Olá! Between “pronúncia [alentejana]” and “sotaque alentejano”, there’s no real difference in meaning, just in wording. So, the word choice is of no consequence here.
