Ok so I realized that one of my biggest problems with pronunciation with portuguese was not know how to actually pronunciate each sound, so I tried bettering this while I was in Bahía. Now I say these sounds with a Bahía accent, or rather a Bahian inclination more than an accent. This is actually great for me because I love it, but the "correct" phonemes are not my primary go to, so for all of you who are still wondering how to make each specific sounds heres a little video (vid#1). I'll also add another video that helps a lot too, this is a fater and more complex video on more complex sounds, it examples more sounds and mixtures of vowel fonemes with their respective nasalities and it also does the consonant sounds. Again this is Brazilian portuguese, you'll find that these sounds are more fricative, softer and less vocalized than European portugese, according to Wikipidia, european languages are usually more vocalized than their non-european transformations and the softening of the language is supossed to be because of the influence of from other languages, these being both native american languages and african. Hope it helps you all, i'll add more on accents; specifically bahian - baiano.
Accent = Sotaque
Slang = Gíria (can be street or professional slang)
Enjoy... :)
