But, for the love of God, don't ever call a Brazilian José by the Spanish pronunciation. He's likely to feel insulted by "Hoe-say", so just say "Zhoo-ze(p)" (you're not supposed to pronounce the "p", but pretend there is just so you get the vowel right).

This one is pronounced "Hor-Hay" or something, right?

My accent wants to say it exactly like George

Your own accent got it closer. It's "ZHOR-zhee" (can't really spell it in English, but it's the same "o" as in "hot" for you). Say it in English, as you normally would, and we'll just assume it's the correct pronunciation with a thick accent

Consonants in Portuguese sound closer to their English counterparts than you'd expect from the proximity to Spanish.

(I will read the names for you both when I get home)

I don't know if you knew this but Brazil is a big country (almost as large as the USA).

So is Jesus (gees-us) or (hay-zeus)?

Lira reading the 20 most common names + Jesus in Portuguese

There you go

You got them all right, actually... well, except for José because you still said it in Spanish But, other than that, my brother got a real kick out of hearing you say his name (Fernando)

Haha, it gets most people by surprise

I was tired and switching back and forth from Portuguese, so my accent sounds thicker than usual there.

Yeah, especially "five" and "nineteen" to me sounded like when Stu is counting
,while I never heard him counting.
