Subject: Carvalho

Question
what is the meaning and pronounication of Carvalho?
Thank you!

Answer
Dear Sir,

Carvalho means oak, the tree. The r and lh sounds in this word make it complicated to pronounce.It is complicated to pronounce since the r and lh are sounds that do not exist in all languages. The phonetic key is /k//á//r//v//a//λ//ö/.

Kind Regards,

Erika
