That's interesting, at times your "R" in Portuguese sounds like Spanish "j" (in "Raimundo", for example) and at other times like Spanish "r" (in "Pedro"). Is that pretty standard? |
It's the standard pronunciation in Brazil. Here's how it works: Unless the letter "r" is after a consonant (other than another "r") or between vowels, you pronounce it as a Spanish "r". If it's the last consonant in a word (specially verbs), feel free to drop it. Elsewhere, work that throat! The same "h" as in "happy" is the standard pronunciation in Brasilia, but you can have something closer to the French "R" or the Spanish "J" (or even the Dutch "G" depending on the region and/or speaker). Here are both (soft and "harsh") possibilities:
Rio de Janeiro, certo, errado, acreditar.

Cool.
I actually think French with alveolar R sounds kind of awesome. This scientist's old school Quebec accent is great (most people from Quebec use the "normal" French R these days): video[/url] |
I like it too - there are loads of African immigrants here and they all speak like this. I'm seriously thinking of learning French from one of them
But young Quebecois speak with an uvular R, right?

I read that there are some dialects of Brazilian Portuguese that use an approximant "R" like in English. That must sound interesting... |
It's so cute! It's common in the Midsouth (São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Goiás), but it only happens in the end of syllables/words (I've seen just a few old speakers use the approximant instead of the usual flap). It's not my native pronunciation, but this is what it sounds like:
Rio de Janeiro, certo, errado, acreditar, porta, porteira, portão
