brazilian pronunciation

This is a pronunciation game for Brazil, focusing on the confusion between the sounds spelt by R and H, so that for example 'rat' sounds like 'hat'. When Brazilians speak English together using this pronuinciation of R, they understand each other perfectly. However, when they speak English with people from other parts of the world, big misunderstandings can happen!
