Pronunciation question!

I am having so much trouble pronouncing the ão diphthong, even after listening to native speakers pronounce it! For example, I have so much trouble saying my friend João's name. Does anyone have a resource or suggestion for learning how to do this sound? Thank you so much!

Hi Brittany, The "ã" is a nasal vowel and sounds like "Huh?" in English. The "o" sounds like the vowel "o" in the English word "do" Cheers, :) Tereza.
