How to pronounce Vicente Luque (CORRECTLY!)

Welcome! Wondering about the pronunciation of Vicente Luque?

My name is Franz Lang, a German-Hongkongese independent linguist, language enthusiast, serial traveller and movie buff. I am now fully quadrilingual, speaking French, German, Cantonese and English fluently. Over the years, I've also developed a convincing understanding of Portuguese, Arabic, Yiddish, Russian, and many other languages. The goal of my channel is simple: to help you say any word with absolute confidence.
So what about Vicente Luque? During a UFC watch party, a friend, reading the fighter's name off the screen, asked, "Is it Vincent Loo-kay or Loo-kwee?" It opened a mini-lesson on Portuguese pronunciation. I explained the 'c' is soft before 'e', and the final 'e' is not silent but a distinct, unstressed vowel. 'Luque' has two syllables, not one—a detail that matters to fans wanting to correctly cheer for 'The Silent Assassin'.

Vicente Luque is a professional mixed martial artist from Brazil who competes in the Welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
