Alexandra loved this episode. I'm a portuguese living in England, and it's always so good to hear things about our country and culture. Portuguese azulejos are a beauty and can be seen all over. In train stations,churches,cathedrals, palaces and so many other buildings and streets. Thanks for sharing a little bit of my beautiful country 🥰

Hello Alexandra! How you pronounce the " J" is not so important, at list for me. You are not an expert in languages but in decoration and a very good one, that is exactly why I like you and your work. And now back to the tiles, Your presentation on tiles in Potugal was very good indeed. I'm Portuguese, I live in Portugal, although I also lived abroad. Alexandra you are very welcome here to visit us our beatiful country, people, food and " TILES " 😂

I love this, as a Portuguese-American I think it's wonderful that other people are appreciating this style I've loved all my life. We were able to visit the Azores in 2019 and have so many photos of the various tile-covered buildings, and tile scenes. I am also a big fan of Alexandra Gater and have been for a long time. Just a suggestion, as I see this happens often: Portuguese pronunciation is different than Spanish and the "j" is not silent. Azulejos is pronounced ah-zoo-lay-zhews (like the z in zhuzsh). Thanks for the wonderful series!

In Portuguese you pronounce the J in azulejo. In your video you had a Spanish accent. You can hear the j in google translate even tho it’s in a Brazilian accent. In any case, great video!

In Portugal, “azulejos” serve another purpose: they protect the exterior of our houses from “salitre”, from the sea.

Dear Alexandra, I know you don't speak portuguese, but as a Brazilian person that does, it kinda anoying to hear you speak "azuleJo" with an spanish pronuciation 😂. But i like the video and the history behind portuguese titles!!! PS: my english may be broken, but I'm not doing a video.

There’s a disconnect here, in that if azulejo (why are they called azulejo? Because they’re blue?) tiles are assembled to tell a story, where do the purely decorative, mismatched tiles fall in this history? I see the decorative tiles on Portuguese buildings but they don’t take us to, for example, the mixed tile decoration you’re sitting in front of, nor are they assembled to tell a story. Also, what are they made of and how are they attached to surfaces to make them “earthquake-proof”? I realize you have limited time to talk about them, but these seem like important points.

Unfortunately, you pronounced the J in 'azulejo' as an H sound, which is Spanish 🫣 J in Portuguese is pronounced as in French, so a ZH sound as in 'measure' or 'treasure'.

I came here to say this too. Unfortunately the use of Spanish language pronunciation for Portuguese words is a very common mistake across English speakers. In this case, the problem is a lack of research and prep from the writers and producers of this video. Maybe a bit of cultural awareness. Mixing Spanish and Portuguese is one of the things that bothers Portuguese speakers (myself included) a lot! I promise I'm not hating on Alexandra. 😊

You keep using the Spanish pronunciation (same spelling and different pronunciation in Spanish and Portuguese.) Azulejo has a Portuguese zs like ZsaZsa Gabor or Je in French.
