Resumo

The intersection between the phonemic charts of different languages allows the learner of a second language (L2) to overlap characteristics of the phonemes of his/her mother language (L1) onto the L2. Thus, based on the pronunciation of German learners of Portuguese, this work aims to analyze the strategies employed by them when pronouncing some Brazilian Portuguese (BP) phonemes and, based on acoustic and articulatory phonetics, to suggest a few exercises to improve the pronunciation of some consonants that were mispronounced. The expectation is that German learners, based on those exercises, will articulate those phonemes similarly to native BP speakers. Also, with the implementation of those exercises, German learners may experience a fast, effective, and positive response in their L2 pronunciation.
