Este estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar la comprensión auditiva de las formas sandhi (asimilación, enlace y contracción) en la Interfonología del Portugués Brasileño/Inglés. Cincuenta y dos estudiantes brasileños de inglés, con edades entre 15 y 50 años y, un nivel mínimo de competencia en inglés B1, respondieron a dos tareas de comprensión auditiva, una con formas sandhi y otra sin ésta. Luego, rellenaron un cuestionario sobre la frecuencia con la que veían películas en inglés, con y sin subtítulos, y también sobre la frecuencia con la que escuchaban canciones en inglés, poniendo atención a las letras. Los datos recopilados se analizaron tanto cuantitativa como cualitativamente. Los resultados indicaron que, en los estudiantes brasileños de inglés que participaron del estudio, las formas sandhi provocaron dificultades en la comprensión auditiva, especialmente cuando involucraron palabras de contenido, y la forma sandhi tenía un par mínimo. Aunque los participantes vieron películas y series en inglés, con subtítulos tanto en inglés como en portugués, se observó un mejor desempeño entre los que consumieron contenido sin subtítulos.
