I must agree with Mathias (I don't even find any difference between
'en' and 'in', I know it's done in Portuguese, but when I try to speak it, I
must spend at least a minute in order to give my mouth the correct
articulation).
It also reminds me of a strange adventure of mine. I realized just
some months ago that when I was younger, I made a real difference between
'un' and 'in' (I really made a difference between 'brun' (brown) and 'brin'
(I don't know the word in English)) but I lost it and now can hear the
difference, but have difficulties to say it. Is it a consequence of the
evolution of French?
